Sunrays coming from behind. There is water in the background wth a bridge crossing the bridge. In front of the water are trees with a silhouette of a bigfoot emerging from them. In the front is Signal the Frog. He is holding a banjo in his left hand and a spatula in his right. On his right side is a grill. Behind Signal on his left is a blue, van-like vehicle.

GeoWoodstock XIX

..first held in 2003 by JoGPS as a way to bring “geocachers from all over” together. JoGPS says it started as “all about the numbers” but continues as “all about the number of new friends you make and smiles you share.” In 2006, GeoWoodstock became the first Geocaching Mega Event in the world and the first Giga event in the US in 2018!

GeoWoodstock has been the paramount Mega Event of the year in North America. Come and celebrate as we build a new chapter with rich history in the land of Bar-B-Que, Bourbon, and Bluegrass Music in Owensboro, Kentucky, just 1 hour from where it all began in 2003.
