I used to do that a couple years ago. It's extremely fun. I hit almost all of the ones around in this area of kern county. I even set one up, but never got around to placing it out there anywhere. Now that I got a GPS for christmas, I've been toying around with the idea of doing it again. We should start a scabies one. ::lol::

I wouldn't be able to do this -- GPS devices send out the same kinds of RF signals that cell phones do, and they both give me headaches.  (Both devices use signals in the 1-2 GHz frequency band).

I could do it if someone else went with me to check the GPS device and they stood a few meters away from me each time they did it...  :-/

I go geocaching occasionally... When I started I was doing it w/o a GPS, just google earth and a good memory of landmarks. Smile

I think we stumbled on one of these outside the Arizona hotel while doing a trail hunt. Had no idea what it was for and we assumed it was some kind of scavenger hunt the  hotel did or something like that.
