We’re halfway through Cosmic Quest and so far the global geocaching community has generated over 7,500,000 units of fuel! That is impressive! However, to reach the goal of 15 million units of fuel, we’ve got to keep caching. Let’s fill these last weeks of August with as many geocache finds as we can so we can fuel up the spaceship! Our friends are also busy geocaching this month and we just received this postcard they sent from a recent geocache location. Continue reading →

Meet your community volunteers
It’s a well-known fact that geocaching is a community-based game. After all, what would the game be without creative cache owners and the engaged cachers who log their finds?
Another vital aspect of the game is the collection of geocaching community volunteers who dedicate their time, passion, and talent to support the worldwide geocaching community.
- Reviewers review and publish geocaches that meet geocaching guidelines
- Moderators guide and monitor participation in the Geocaching Forums
- Translators translate geocaching content into languages other than English
- EarthCache reviewers use their expertise in geology to review and publish EarthCaches
The geocaching community currently has nearly 400 volunteers who support geocachers and coach new players—all for the love of the game. Though most volunteers are also active players, a large portion of the community hasn’t yet had the chance to meet them.
Here’s a brief introduction to volunteers you might have seen in your community! Continue reading →
Geocache of the Week Flashback Edition: Taipei Beimen Post Office / 臺北北門郵局
You’ve got mail!
This Geocache Of The Week blog is a love letter to a fantastic Letterbox Hybrid geocache hidden in the last (or maybe first) place anyone would think to look—inside a post office! And it’s not just any post office, it’s the historic Taipei Beimen Post Office in Taiwan.
Greetings from our cosmic friends
As we geocache to generate fuel for their spaceship, our friends from outer space are also out exploring the planet. The geocache in the last postcard we received was GC6XP4X. Earlier today, we received the above postcard. Can you tell which geocache is featured? Share your guess in the comments below!
*We love to highlight and share special geocaches with the global geocaching community. However, Geocaching HQ’s mention of a specific cache does not grant permission to log that cache as found without physically finding the geocache. Learn more about logging
