Quotes
GPS brings the seeker to a general location, but then he or she must interact with the environment in order to find the cache itself. (The geocaching community, as it turns out, has codified this experience. They call it “using your geo-senses”: using sight, sound, and touch to find a cache, since a set of GPS coordinates alone rarely brings you to an exact location.) - [|Tools, Trees, and the Necessity of Failure]
