As we look back on twenty years of geocaching history, we decided to revisit some of our favorite Geocaches of the Week from years past.
This week we’re turning the dial back to the first week of September 2014, when we featured Cadillac Ranch Cars (GC4K7Y3). Almost six years later, the cache is still bringing joy and smileys to all geocachers who find it.

This Geocache of the Week is a rare breed. Cachers will find the cache in question, Le Tchien Bodu GC21T4K, on the island of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands located off the coast of France. At first glance it may seem like just a Letterbox Hybrid on the Guernsey coastline, but geocachers who dare to search for this one will be rewarded with multiple stages taking them off the beaten path, bringing them a unique view of the island and the satisfaction of another find.

Gnomes are a common sight in many a garden or front yard, but have you ever seen a group of gnomes living in a tree?
The Holly Hill Gnome Home was started in 2003 when three wandering gnomes (via resident Virginia Morris) asked the City Council to take up residence at the base of a tall, grizzled tree next to the Halifax River.
The original gnomes, Hall, Lee, and Hill were soon joined in their tree home, not only by other formerly gnomadic gnomes, but also by Gnome Place Like Home, our geocache of the week!
Today, we release a new country/regional souvenir for Vatican City. If you have found a geocache in Vatican City, you automatically receive the souvenir on your profile.

Today, we release a new country/regional souvenir for the Åland Islands! If you have found a geocache in the Åland Islands, you automatically receive the souvenir on your profile.
The Åland Islands is a sweeping archipelago perched in the Baltic Sea. Finland’s smallest (and only Swedish speaking!) region, this island province is comprised of one large island, Fasta Åland, and over 6,500 skerries.
Since skerries are small, rocky islands, generally too small or harsh to be populated, most caches are placed on Fasta Åland, and among them is Sjökvarteret, our Geocache of the Week!
