Geocache Types

There are many different types of geocaches. Some are larger than others and some are virtual. A tradition geocache is the original cache type that consists of a minimum of a container and log book. Normally you'll find a tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies or a smaller container to small to contain anything but a log book. These caches have one set of coordinates. A multi-cache involves two or more locations, the last one being the container. These types of caches vary, usually the second gives hints about the third, and soo on. A mystery or puzzle cache contains a difficult puzzle that you will have to complete in order to find the coordinates. A letterbox hybrid is a mix between a geocache and a letterbox, which involves the passing of stamp prints. An event cache is ocassional organizations for local geocachers set at a time and location to discuss geocaches. A mega-event cache is similar to the last but much bigger and attracts geocachers from all over the world.
