Announcing the 2023 hider souvenir 🗓️
For 2022 The Year of the Hide, we introduced the 2022 hider souvenir for cachers who helped the community refresh and revitalize the game board. It’s the first year we’ve awarded a hider souvenir for caches published from March until December. To commemorate the occasion, we’ve decided to award the souvenir to everyone who hid a cache or hosted an Event in all of 2022—January and February included.
