Geocaching is basically a treasure hunt for nerds with GPS devices.
"Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value." - Wikipedia article on Geocaching
If you're bored on PEI and have a GPS device there are a few caches to choose from...
While it truly is geeky it's a lot of fun. It will take you to places on PEI you've never seen. Use geocaching.com to get your cache details.

Geeky fun - I like that! :)
Not only is it fun, it's educational and offers health benefits as well. Geocaching will bring you to places you've never been. There are several types of caches available including the tradional ones that you described, EarthCaches and virtual caches. EarthCaches teaches you interesting things about the Earth and virtuals are interesting places.
