WARRENSBURG, N.Y. -- "Using longitude and latitude, you can find any treasures," said John Bowe from the Cornell Cooperative, who organized the event Wednesday.

The name of the game is geocaching and by using a GPS, you can search for hidden treasures. Combining hiking and hide-n-seek, geocaching is quickly becoming a global phenomenon.

"We found the hidden treasure. We logged in and we put a nice geotreasure out there and hopefully someone will find it in the future and of course, they can track that by going onto Geocaching.com," said Bowe.

It's going global, thanks to this web site and others like it where you can share your experience and the location of what you've hidden. Right now, there's over 700,000 caches world-wide for you to find.

There is the high tech component. You have a hand-held device that reads satellites.

"But at the same time, it's getting kids outside. It's getting them active. We hiked approximately a tenth of a mile and a tenth of a mile out, so they cover just about a quarter of a mile just in this one session," said Bowe.

Once the geocach is found, the player must sign a tiny logbook kept with the cache. It should be kept in a waterproof container along with some sort of trinket, something you're willing to give away, but might be valuable to somebody else.

"We try encourage the youth that are participating to stay on the trail because it is respectful of the community and the area that they are in," said Martina Yngente.

You make this as complicated or as easy as you want.

"Right, this cache only had one site. There are what's called multi-caches where there's multiple sites where you go to one site and it tells you to go to another site," said Bowe.

It's a global game that proves you don't have to be a Magellan to discover new worlds of fun.
