In today's hi-tech world of electronic gadgets that do almost anything, one popular device for outdoor enthusiasts is the handheld GPS. These relatively inexpensive devices are less accurate forms of advanced military and survey instrumentation that hikers, hunters, bikers, and even fisherman can use to help discover the hidden secrets of Quabbin Reservoir.
As a matter of fact, outdoor-rec types with a "Sherlock Holmes" mindset developed a pseudo-game called geocaching where a series of small "treasures" are scattered throughout an area, a log of geographic coordinates is prepared then people embark to locate these hidden stores. Once located, the coordinates are logged, the person (or people) remove an item from the cache box and replace it with something they brought.
