Etymology

The term 'geocaching' is derived from the combination of 'geo,' meaning Earth, and 'cache,' a hidden storage place. The concept of geocaching originated in May 2000 when GPS technology became accessible to the public, allowing individuals to pinpoint exact geographical locations. The first known geocache was placed by Dave Ulmer in Oregon, which sparked a global phenomenon that quickly grew in popularity. Over the years, the activity has evolved with the integration of mobile technology and social media, creating a vibrant community of geocachers who share tips, stories, and the thrill of discovery. Today, geocaching is recognized as a way to connect with nature, learn about geography, and engage in physical activity, making it popular among adventurers of all ages.
