Souvenirs such as the Bayern, Germany souvenir pictured on the left, are virtual pieces of art that you can discover and display on your profile page, as well as on the Geocaching iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7 apps.

“Night Caching” A Geocaching.com Lost & Found Video

Geocaching doesn’t have to stop when the sun sets. For some geocachers, the thrill of the treasure hunt just begins when darkness falls. Watch this video to follow geocachers as they navigate through the night to find a multi-cache in California. Find out how the clues for this cache stay invisible during the day and even to most muggles at night.

Look for geocaches with this “recommended at night” icon to find a night cache near you. Premium Members are able to run a Pocket Query to search for geocaches with specific attributes, such as “recommended at night.”

“Accessible Geocaching” A Geocaching.com Lost & Found Video

Kevin Berg, kberg31974, will tell you he’s not the best person to gauge the accessibility of geocaches.  Kevin says he often takes his wheelchair where it was never designed to go.  The computer consultant has spent most of his life confined to a wheelchair due to the neurological condition  Cerebral Palsy.  The disorder doesn’t define Kevin.  He’s a father, college graduate, entrepreneur and geocacher.

Watch “Accessible Geocaching,” a Geocaching.com Lost & Found video, to experience the joy of inclusive geocaching. Kevin, his wife and other mobility impaired geocachers search for geocaches with a terrain rating of one on a five-star scale.

Hear why those who place the one star difficulty caches believe that these geocaches serve the whole geocaching community.
