Hello, I am Matthew Marciski, and welcome to the Red Rock Geocaching Association's (RRGA) Blog. Put simply, we're a group of people in the township of Red Rock, Ontario who enjoy the game of Geocaching, and this blog will be where we write about Geocaching. Topics we write about can include notable caches we've found, caches we've placed, Geocaching News, and sometimes just random pieces about certain aspects of the game. Whether you're an adamant geocacher or have just stumbled across our blog randomly, I hope you enjoy what you find.
What is Geocaching?
Of course, knowing that we're a Geocaching Association isn't useful knowledge if you don't know what Geocaching is. In its simplest form, Geocaching is finding something somewhere placed by someone. The most common type of Geocache, known as a "Traditional", is a watertight container holding a logbook which must be signed with the geocacher's tag and the date. Depending on the size of the container, other items, known as "SWAG" for "Stuff We All Get", may be left for trading purposes. There are many different possible variations from Geocache to Geocache, big and small, but the core principle remains the same for the most part: Container with a Logbook. I'll leave you for now, but my next article will be a much more in-depth description of the game known as Geocaching. Goodbye for now.
