One of the joys of geocaching is that the whole world is our gameboard! From the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquil quiet of the countryside, geocaches lie in wait for finders everywhere to discover their secrets. There are geocaches in nearly every setting on planet Earth.
This week, join us as we sail to New Caledonia, a French collectivity in the South Pacific, to find the region’s first Geocache of the Week, Le phare Amédée (GC416NJ)!
Dating back to the game’s origins, the core of geocaching has always been community. Cache owners spend hours crafting caches for others to find; players share their adventures through logs and photos; and behind the scenes, a group of volunteers keeps the game going.
The geocaching community was asked to host events highlighting cache creativity… and they delivered! Between April 9 and 30, hundreds of Maker Magic Events across 30 countries showcased creativity through hands-on demonstrations, educational workshops, and more. From turning trash into a Favorite point-worthy container to creating custom stamps for Letterbox Hybrid Caches, these events were truly magical.
How much patience can fit inside a single geocache?
