2. Plan to find a geocache with lots of Favorite points and love is sure to be in the air! Geocachers show their geocaching love in many ways, one of which is by awarding Favorite points. Favorite points are a Premium member<\/a> feature and a simple way to track and share the geocaches that you enjoyed the most. Sort by Favorite points to find a list of geocaches that are sure to delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
