Geocaching is good in that it gets people off trails and really into the wilderness, which, atleast in the north east US atleast, is a safe place to be. However, orienteering is a more overall rewarding experience, as it forces real map contact and engages the mind quite a bit more. I hope that geocaching is used more as an intro to orienteering, but we shall see how this new activity evolves.
