Postcard-worthy moments from 2023

2023 is almost at an end, so we’d like to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful memories that made it so special.

This has been an especially great year for getting together with the geocaching community and connecting on all the different ways this hobby brings us joy. From designing caches during Maker Magic, cleaning up the community at a CITO Event, grabbing some popcorn for GIFF, or attending one of the dozens of global Mega-Events, geocachers were there, making connections and lifelong friendships.

Here are moments from 2023 that we feel are postcard-worthy. Look at these snapshots and find some images from your year that you’d like to take with you as you head into 2024!
