In 2012, Groundspeak made International Geocaching Day the biggest day in Geocaching.com history. More than 94,000 geocachers from around the world charged into the wilderness or perhaps walked casually down the sidewalk to find a geocache on August 18.
Thank you to all those geocachers who organized the more than 250 events, including 3 Mega-Events, on International Geocaching Day this year. The events range from Event Geocaches to CITO Events and include Mega-Events in Germany, Hungary, and the United States.
The Mega-Event in the U.S. for 2012 was the Geocaching Block Party hosted at Groundspeak HQ in Seattle, Washington. We invited the community to attend via this video from some of Geocaching.com's most famous (furry) employees.
