With Halloween just around the corner, we’re getting in the spooky spirit. Cachers can find this Adventure, Scary stories to tell in the dark Venice, in the heart of one of Italy’s most iconic cities. With its Renaissance history, elegant architecture, and enchanting canals, Venice is known for its beauty; but a city with so much history has its fair share of ghostly tales. These Locations are sure to send shivers down your spine.
Three reasons to add friends on Geocaching.com
Geocaching friends are handy for lots of reasons—they offer a second pair of eyes looking for the cache, they can distract any muggles nearby, or maybe they brought that special tool of the trade. The list goes on! It’s easy to see the benefits of geocaching friends when you’re out in the field, but there are also benefits to adding friends on Geocaching.com.

Feeling the need to spread your wings and explore somewhere new? Looking for a chance to migrate or get a change of scenery? Let your wildest dreams take flight with this week’s flashback to a Geocache of the Week, originally featured in 2011.
“Butterfly Garden @ Changi Airport T3 Transit” (GC1HA96) was placed in Singapore’s Changi Airport in 2008, giving geocachers the chance to explore a microbiome that transports them to an entirely new world. While the garden is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the cache is still active and ready to be found when visitors are welcomed back.
Cachers improve the outdoors
As seasoned geocachers know, taking care of the outdoor spaces where we geocache is an important part of the game we love so much. Geocachers are lucky enough to have a whole planet as their game board and they take their responsibility for maintaining and improving that game board seriously. Many cachers give back to the environment by practicing CITO habits and are enjoying an additional chance to improve the environment this year with the Locationless Cache, GC8NEAT. We at HQ had a feeling that geocachers would be excited about the GC8NEAT Locationless Cache, but we’ve been blown away by how many have taken part and how creative they have been with improving their environment. As of right now, over 23,000 cachers have logged GC8NEAT and geocachers around the world have hosted more than 1,400 CITO Events.
