Our virtual trip around the world is coming to a close, but not without sharing several more Virtual Caches you can find! We’re featuring one Virtual Cache from every continent so we can truly circle the globe!
Month: November 2017
Are you crazy?!? No, I’m Radu! Geo-cycling through 16 countries in 5 months.
Radu Clapa (Radu C) is Romanian-born and now resides in Denmark. He does not own much in the way of special gear, equipment, or clothing, and insists many people could do what he’s done if they just have the willpower. He swears he’s a normal guy.
Except this “normal guy” is doing the exceptional: geocaching on a bicycle through 16 countries, focusing on T5s, Virtual Caches, Webcams, and oh, about 1,400 other “regular” geocaches. He calls the journey, “Geocaching Bicycle Touring Europe 2017”, or GBTE2017.
His 7,800 km (4900 mi) adventure started in Denmark on July 5th and will end on Wednesday, November 15th in Romania. Here’s his story.

Geocachers are ambitious people, fighting norms, and always striving towards something bigger. Many geocachers love to set goals and achieve big milestones. One geocacher, Max Storms (Capraibex96), had a desire to achieve new heights with a little help from some friends. There’s an attribute that you see on most T1 urban caches, ‘wheelchair accessible’, that no longer applies to Max.
