2. Many people think geocachers spend all their time going into the woods and looking under brush and logs. Not true. Some of the caching sites include parking lots, piers and places you may pass on your way to work.
Yes, don't be fooled! There are dozens of LPCs for you to find!  ::)

From there, the geocacher goes on a hunt, searching for the site. Once they find it, they can either take the treasure they found; leave a different treasure for the next geocacher or not take the treasure at all.

So once we find the cache we have the option of taking the cache?   Who wrote this up?

It was immediately clear that the article was not written by a geocacher (and she is a "staff writer"), but it's good to see geocaching in the press. Apparently "treasure" refers to swag, but that's not how it's written.
