Welcome!
Whether you're a seasoned veteran or have never been caching before, this group is for you! If you don't have a GPS unit, we'll hook you up with a group that does!
We have monthly outings. Some in Bloomington; others we'll travel for weekend geocaching marathons to cool sights that you get to choose. Or just be part of the e-mail list at Google Groups to keep up on the pulse of geocaching in the Bloomington area!
There are 2 geocaching groups in Bloomington: the Geocaching Club at IU and the Bloomington Geocachers. Both of these groups host geocaching outings and do several events together. So if you're not a student at IU, the Bloomington Geocachers is for you and students are very welcome at Bloomington Geocachers' events!
What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is the sport where YOU are the search engine!
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a geocache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up geocaches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they take something from the cache, try to leave something for the cache.
