Where has geocaching brought you?
Maybe to the tops of mountains or deep underwater. Maybe into the vibrancy of a new city, or on a peaceful stroll through a wooded glen. Maybe you found the most dastardly of puzzle caches, a nerdy themed cache, or simply a cache with the most breathtaking view you’ve ever seen.
Wherever your geocaching journey has led, and whatever amazing caches you’ve found, we want to know!
“One of the more enjoyable parts of geocaching can be the use of deliberate misdirection,” says cache owner jewilk1.

It is a rare experience to find a geocache that checks multiple boxes off of your geocaching bucket list. For example, have you ever found a geocache that meets the following three criteria?
✔ Has its own electrical supply, complete with charging port for mobile cache logging!
✔ Has a CO who is on-site for maintenance (and maybe share a cup of coffee, if you’re lucky!)
✔ Is large enough that you can sit inside of it, complete with its own chair!
If you seek a geocache with these features, look no further than Haksulandia, our Geocache of the Week!
