What do you get when you cross a game of hide-and-seek with high tech? Geocaching. Venturers from Crew 84 in San Rafael, Calif., journey to a nearby forest to combine pathfinding and hiking skills with the latest Global Positioning System technology. They unearth all sorts of wild and crazy loot from caches hidden in the woods. Read about their adventures in writer Scott Lindlaw's story. Cover photograph by Corey Rich.
