Bet you haven\u2019t heard of that acronym before! Something tells me it\u2019s not going to catch on\u2026but hopefully the idea of earning two souvenirs at once will! Beginning April 12, your geocaching outings could not only collect Wonders towards earning all six of the Wonders of the World<\/a> souvenirs but you can also collect points on your Leaderboard for the Science of Discovery<\/a> challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least remember to download it for offline use! Lists are a Premium member feature available in the Geocaching\u00ae app and on Geocaching.com. Add geocaches you plan to find to a List for easy organization. Just be sure to download it and switch to the Trails map type in the app! Here\u2019s how to download a List:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve planned which caches to find, see which of your geocaching buddies have already found the cache, too! This way you\u2019ll know who you can call if you need to phone-a-friend on a tricky cache.
In the Geocaching\u00ae app when looking at the activity of a geocache, tap \u201cFriends\u201d to see which of yours has shared a log for that cache. On Geocaching.com, click \u201cView all logs\u201d, then select \u201cYour Friends\u2019 Logs\u201d to see only your friends\u2019 logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all want to be at the top of our game when it comes to geocaching adventures, but for many of us, the past year wasn\u2019t always conducive to an active lifestyle. Don\u2019t worry, we have not one<\/a> but two<\/a> fitness programs to get you back into tip-top geocaching shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geo-senses are skills that develop the more you geocache. The more you geocache the more you\u2019ll become accustomed to seeing certain things that just might point you to the geocache. Take a few moments to hone your geo-senses<\/a> before you head out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nFive ways to get ready for your next geocaching outing<\/a><\/blockquote>
