The founder and physician consultant at OptiMed Solutions in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Jonathan “Jon” Komar possesses over two decades of medical experience. He earned his MD from the Wayne State University School of Medicine. In his free time, Dr. Jon Komar enjoys nature, especially geocaching alongside his family. Together, they have found over 300 geocaches around the country, in states including Texas, Mississippi, and Hawaii.
An adventure game for GPS users, geocaching combines hiking with tech-aided treasure hunting. Individuals participating in the hobby determine the location of caches by entering coordinates into GPS units. After finding the cache, they enjoy different rewards, such as a logbook with information about nearby attractions, maps, pictures, jewelry, or antiques. The game comes with several rules. When placing caches, people must keep them far away from railroad crossings and road traffic so that searchers are safe. Finding a cache cannot require swimming, nor can individuals bury caches in the ground or place them at historic sites or on private property. In addition, those seeking caches follow a certain etiquette. Once a cache is found, individuals may carefully remove the cache and examine the contents without tipping off others to its location. Further, each person who finds the cache must sign the included logbook and, if they take an item, must replace it with one of equal or higher value. Should the cache contain a trackable item, the discoverer must move that item to a new cache.
