It’s no secret that GPS is a huge part of our lives. When we find the fastest way to work, check the weather at our location, tag our location on social media, or order a ride share or dinner from an app, GPS is responsible for it all. We can even add finding a geocache to this list! This is all thanks to a change made to GPS in the year 2000

Geocaching Events have been put on hold for quite a while to make sure that we all stay safe. It’s been a long time since we put on our “people” faces and attended an Event. With some restrictions slowly lifting, attending one could be a possibility in the near future.

Does the thought of striking up a conversation overwhelm you? You’re not alone. One of our Community Coordinators, Megan, has some tips and tricks on how to use that nervous energy to transform you into a geocaching social butterfly.

In the global geocaching community, we are fortunate to have so many interesting people with very extraordinary stories. Richard Garriott, better known as LordBritish among geocachers, is someone who tests the limits of what is possible for geocache placement. With legendary geocaches such as International Space Station and the Deep Sea Rainbow Hydrothermal Vents, Richard Garriott, along with expedition partner Michael Dubno (Dubnium), tested those limits once again by placing an EarthCache at Challenger Deep of the Marianas Trench 10,925 meters (10.9 kilometers, 6.8 miles) beneath the surface of the water.
