Geocaching at the ZooA High-tech Treasure HuntGeocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game that originated inBeavercreek, Ore. With it, players search for hidden containers called cachesusing GPS-enabled devices, and then share their experiences online. In March,the Oregon Zoo placed four caches on its grounds, posting the GPS coordinatesonline at www.geocaching.com. Since then, a number of geocachers havefound the containers and posted about their experiences on the website,writing comments like "Another great zoo cache for my grandson," and "Ingood condition, thanks."Each zoo cache is a small locked box with a logbook inside. Its GPS locationand lock combination are posted on geocaching.com for players to find anduse to open the cache. Decorations on each cache reflect the environment inwhich it is placed: a picture of silverware on the cache near the animalcommissary, for example, and a painting of a train on the cache by the zoorailway.All four caches have been placed with permission and can only be accessedwhen the zoo is open. Each has its own website with information anddirections:Choo ChooCougars and Eagles and Bears, OH MY!Let's Eat!What's in an Elephant's Trunk?
