This week, rewind your enthusiasm, press play, and get ready for a little analog-style geocaching adventure.
Let‘s get back to the 80s – #14 (GCBGZ27) cranks the dial all the way back to a time before the digital world as we know it today existed. Spool up your curiosity, the 80s are waiting, and they’ve got a Mystery for you.
When geocachers step outside with a GPS-enabled device, they’re tapping into decades of brilliant science and mathematics that make those coordinates possible. Behind every successful find stands a brilliant mathematician whose work helped make modern GPS possible: Dr. Gladys West.
Some geocaches are simple finds. Others ask for a bit more. GCHC – Pump It Up (GCBCVD7) does both. What starts as a search quickly turns into a hands-on experience where curiosity—and a bit of effort—bring the cache to life.
Whether you’re out on a hike or visiting a local park, sometimes you come across a spot and think, “That would be a great place for a cache.”
With the latest Geocaching® app release (version 10.7.0+), you can now record a hiding spot, add cache details, and submit a Traditional Cache for review—all from the mobile app!
This week’s Geocache of the Week, Deputies, bring in those travel bugs (GC45CZX), combining a short outdoor search with strong storytelling, a clear purpose, and a final location that geocachers are unlikely to forget. Saddle up, bring a trackable, and prepare to help the sheriff keep the peace.
This two-stage Multi-Cache invites geocachers to step into the Old West and help the local sheriff keep order in town. The mission is simple: bring a trackable, follow the clues, and deliver your “prisoner” to a one-of-a-kind jailhouse hide. Along the way, you’ll find creative details and a cache experience that has earned plenty of attention from the geocaching community.
