Haven't done this, but looks like an exciting new way to both enjoy the outdoors and Delaware's beautiful state parks.
Geocaching and its cousin, Letterboxing combine outdoor activity with technology and adventure gaming.
A geocacher places a waterproof container in a public place, calculates its coordinates with a handheld GPS unit, and posts the cache location on the Geocaching website. Other geocachers download the coordinates on their GPS units and try to find the cache.
The caches usually contain items to trade, a logbook and sometimes a camera so the finder can snap a picture of themselves. Most often, the caches aren't hidden in plain sight.

Caches can be found can be found all over Delaware, and around the world, not just in Our State Parks. It is common for geocachers to hide caches in locations that are important to them, reflecting a special interest or skill of the cache owner. These locations can be quite diverse. They may be at your local park, at the end of a long hike, underwater or on the side of a city street.

Some suggestions, like tick repellent, a walking stick, don't forget to bring something to leave in the cache box when you find it...
If you plan to do your treasure hunting at a State Park, bring a bag and pick any trash alone the way on you hunt...
