Geocaching is a really great activity for the whole family to participate in while camping. It is like a GPS based treasure hunt, you never know exactly where a geocache will be hidden or what may be inside of it. Geocaches come in many different sizes and usually contain a little prize and also a piece of paper to sign so other people can see who has been to the cache. The Geomate Jr is great because it has so many features that are helpful to beginners and experience geocachers. The ability to have so many caches preloaded is amazing, plus it is easy to look back on where you have been and the caches you have found.
