Even if the weather outside isn’t frightful where you are (it’s always sunny somewhere in the world), it’s time to get together and be merry. If you are planning to host a geocaching event this time of the year*, why not get crafty and add some festive flair. Even though logbooks are optional at geocaching events, they are a great way to remember a special gathering with your geocaching friends.

*You may consider hosting an event on December 31 or January 1 for the Goodbye 2019, Hello 2020 celebrations.

For most, the evolution of the geocache container begins with the iconic metal ammo can. But in nearly two decades of geocaching, the geocache family tree has branched off into dozens of directions.

Each branch embodies the spirit of evolution. Geocaches now blend more and more into their natural environment. Say you place a cache on the outskirts of an estuary? There’s a bird geocache for that. Or perhaps you’re considering an urban cache on a park bench? There’s a magnetic Micro cache disguised as chewing gum for that.
