First is a free membership at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/\">geocaching.com<\/a>, second is a GPS receiver or a smart phone to download the geocaching app. Base models of GPS&#8217;s cost less than $100 new. Check your local Walmart, Academy or other sporting goods store, Amazon, and I&#8217;ve bought several at huge discounts on ebay. Know though that almost everybody uses a smartphone these days.<\/p>\n<p>If you live close to Tulsa and want to go find a few let me know and we can meet up. There are well over a thousand caches in the city we&#8217;ll go see if we can find some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Updated 12-12-2023) I have been asked to explain what geocaching is and how to do it.
