Red Bud Public Library is a Geocaching Location in Red Bud
Geocaching is a GPS-enabled treasure hunt played in over 190 countries across the world. In this game, outdoor enthusiasts follow GPS coordinates to explore new locations and find caches hidden by fellow geo-explorers in public spaces. Geocaching started in early 2000 as a way of testing the accuracy of GPS receivers. Caches may contain any number of small items, or they may only contain a logbook for players to sign to mark their find. You must use stealth when caching so containers are not removed by non-cachers. Once you sign the log, the container is to be put back in the same spot. |
