Newsweek has set its sites on geocaching in this recent Tip Sheet article:
The Tip Sheet - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com
When you start looking at every article about geocaching, you notice that the phrase “high tech treasure hunt” shows up in an unusually large number of articles. This would seem to be the journalist’s preferred way to describe geocaching to te uninitiated.
The story briefly introduces geocaching, but also offers a couple of tidbits, including this info on group caching events:
Events/packages: Many geocachers search on their own, but you can also join group events. On June 10 and 11, Aussie geocachers will meet in New South Wales for the 24-hour Gold Rush Weekend. And then there’s Germany’s Delusion of Darkness (July 8-10), where cachers will hunt at night. In the United States, the Santa Maria Harbour Resort (
