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.
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!
It’s time for another edition of Ask Signal! We’ve gathered a selection of questions from the geocaching community and asked Signal to share the answers. Let’s dive in!
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).
Geocaching HQ Lackeys attend dozens of Mega and Giga-Events around the world, shaking hands, sharing stories of adventure, and of course, geocaching! Gminer1105 (Genevieve) is a Marketing Manager at Geocaching HQ. She recently traveled to France to attend Au blason ! (GCB89NQ).
