Traveling is an innate part of geocaching, This could be as simple as exploring your own home town to exploring new and exciting places all over the world. An enjoyable part of caching is looking at your Maps in your Statistics page and seeing what areas of the world you have geocached in, as well as what souvenirs you have collected. Caching is much more than just finding a Tupperware container, it is the people you have cached with, places you have visited and adventures you have enjoyed. Caching takes you off the beaten path to trails less traveled, to areas you never dreamed of visiting.
While we may travel hither and yon, inevitably our paths lead us back to our own front door.
This cache is at the posted coordinates and you are welcome to write your name in the logbook at any time, however In order to log this cache you must have collected 15 souvenirs from different provinces/states/countries that you have cached in. Please list the GC code, followed by the cache name, the date you found it, then the state, province or country you found that cache in. You may use your home province/state/country as one of your 15 caches.
Few clarifications;
- Within many countries, the country is split up in different provinces, states, districts, parishes, or regions. If you have cached in a country but did not receive a souvenir for that province, state, district, parish, region on your Statistics page, then you list the country as one of your 15. As an example, I cached within different parishes in Barbados in the winter of 2014, as I didn’t receive a souvenir for each parish, therefore I would then list the country of Barbados as one of my 15.
- If you have received a souvenir for a province/state, you may not also use that country. As an example, if you have cached in Alberta and received an Alberta souvenir, I cannot also list the country of Canada as one of your 15 caches.
- You are welcome to use any type of cache type in your list of events, including events.

…….You get the idea!
“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien
