Ten years after Estonia’s first-ever Mega-Event, TheCoastalCrew returned with another celebration of Estonia’s geocaching community. On a sunny weekend in August, nearly 800 geocachers gathered on Estonia’s northern coast for Tales of the Coastal Folk (GCBDYHY), the Mega-Event sequel of legends.

A Mega-Event Adventure in Porto
Over the last weekend in July, I had the pleasure of flying across the Atlantic to attend CacheInPorto, a Mega-Event in Porto, Portugal.
Created & hosted by CITO_PT, CacheInPorto gave geocachers a chance to explore the Lipor Adventure Park, a former landfill site. The park offered beautiful panoramic views as the setting for the Mega-Event.
Retro fun in Catalonia
On the last weekend of May, Ripollet, a beautiful suburb of Barcelona in Spain’s Catalonia region, welcomed geocachers for Retro Summer Fest, a memorable Mega-Event.
Summer arrived early, bringing unusually hot temperatures for late May. Thankfully, the organizers secured exclusive access to a nearby swimming pool, giving attendees a great way to cool off between the many planned activities. With a full schedule of entertainment and geocaches throughout the area, there was always something to do. One unexpected highlight was a flip-flop throwing competition that had participants and spectators laughing out loud!
A Mega Milestone for Geocaching in Italy
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience many “firsts” in this game, but my most recent one was especially memorable: attending Italy’s first Mega-Event, Geocaching Made in Italy! (GCBCRTC).
