2007
This series is dedicated to the first 20 years of geocaching and celebrating the community it created around the world.
The caches in this series should be pretty easy finds. The fun part should be reading the fun facts and historical notes on each page.
As always, be safe and watch out for nature’s hazards like wild animals, snakes, poisonous plants, and stinging critters.
As you log these caches, please feel free to share any fun facts, trivia, or memories about this particular year.
