Want to get paid to geocache? Yea, that would be nice. A company is now offering just that sort of. See there is a company called SkySite that operates a large fleet of balloons. The balloons fly at around 100,000 feet and serve as a communications platform to rural areas. However the balloons don't stay aloft forever and the company wanted a way to retrieve them. They us GPS tracking to obtain the coordinates of the balloons after they return to Earth and offer a bounty to those that retrieve and capture them.
The lucky finder can earn about $25-$50 for returning the equipment. The exact amount of the bounty is determined by how quickly the device is recovered and returned to the SkySite Recovery program.
