For a simplified explanation, someone would go out, hide a container of varying size and mark its coordinates on the internet. From here, this location can be accessed by other geocachers who then go out, GPS in hand, and search for it. Believe me, this is not nearly as easy as it sounds; The hiding places that people can execute are mind-blowing.
Ryan and I spent an entire day, scavaging around parks, deserted lots and beach cliffs only to successfully uncover seven of our original 15 locations. When you find one it's awesome all over. When you don't... well, let's just say that the walk back to the car sucks a lot more. Regardless, found caches or not, it was a great time and a worthy adventure.

Also, many thanks to Ryan for putting up with my slow walking and short attention spans. You're super (with a German accent).
