Abstract:

Geocatching is the new form of treasure hunting. All one needs to partake in this GPS-driven treasure hunt is a GPS-enabled device, and an account at geocatching.com. Burnsville residents hide catches and encourage people to explore sites in town on their hunt. Many catches involve hiking on the numerous trails in the area, allowing geocatchers to explore the natural beauty of the area while searching for their prize.
