Sorta like the Pokémon crazies awhile back.....

Also, we have a somewhat older version of these new geo whatever things near us.
There's a  6X6 concrete post in the ground with a bronze plaque on it from the US Coast & Geodetic Service 1000 feet from our house.
For about a month, 30 years ago I had an RF transmitter in my barn that was used as a locater beacon for a test program that used doppler shift from its signal as a satellite passed overhead.
 Still have a 2 inch cork in the wall plugging up the hole where the coax fed an outside antenna.

As a near neighbor to Saguaro National Park at one time I knew the Chief Ranger on a first name basis. He used to keep up with the geocache website and remove caches as soon as they got listed.  As a related activity I recovered some benchmarks placed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s that hadn't been seen since.
