Not Everyone is Wild About Geo-Caching

An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:

Tourism officials are latching onto the growing popularity of high-tech scavenger hunts, but law officers don't share the enthusiasm for finding strange packages in unexpected places.

In geocaching, people hide stashes in public places and post the locations' coordinates online. Other players — geocaching has an estimated 1 million enthusiasts worldwide _ use handheld Global Positioning System devices to get close to the treasure then rely on their wits and a keen eye to make the find.
