Treasure hunting is back with a modern spin. Geocaching, a form of high-tech scavenging, encourages players to use GPS tracking systems to find hidden treasure caches located in obscure locations around the world. Caches can consist of anything from a simple logbook with a list of visitors to jewelry and tickets to sporting events. This game of coordinates and caches has spread through 203 countries. Resorts like Red Mountain Spa in Utah and the Porches Inn in Massachusetts have caught on to the caching craze and provide GPS units for interested guests. The Porches offers a Berkshire Geocaching Vacation, arming adventure seekers with a GPS unit, trail map, and boxed lunch. Red Mountain Spa teaches guests how to log and read coordinates (longitude and latitude), in search of hidden caches throughout the 55-acre property. The tough terrain offers a very active trek, as buccaneers forge through streams, jump ravines, and scale rocky hillsides all in hopes of finding the hidden treasure!
