We are thankful for you!

It’s easy to get caught up in all the festivities this time of year, but we are taking a moment to think about all we are grateful for! We are thankful for the geocaching community, the volunteers, the reviewers, and the translators. We’re thankful for all of the cache owners who are maintaining geocaches that create memories all across the globe. 

As we move ever closer to our 20th year of geocaching, we realize that none of it would be possible without you! We are celebrating the only way we know how, by finding a geocache of course, and we hope you’ll join us!

Happy geocaching!
