Location: Nestled in a small grove of charred but standing trees that survived a recent fire, this cache commemorates an incredible geocaching milestone—our 1,000th find—and the adventures along the way.
Description:
A journey of a thousand caches begins with just one find… and after countless adventures, tricky hides, moldy wet logs :-), DNFs, and eureka moments, we’ve officially hit 1,000 finds! This milestone represents years of exploring, solving puzzles, meeting fellow geocachers, and, most importantly, having fun. To celebrate, we’ve hidden this special cache in a line of trees that withstood the test of fire, standing strong as a symbol of resilience and renewal. As you explore, you’ll notice faces that incorporate wood of the burned trees—each reflecting the spirit of adventure, perseverance, and community that geocaching inspires. The cache is hidden among these unique features, waiting to bring a little extra joy to your geocaching journey.
A huge thank you to the geocaching community for the inspiration, creativity, and camaraderie that make this game so special. Whether you’re just starting out or well past your own 1K mark, we hope this cache adds a memorable stop on your own geocaching journey.
This cache is dedicated to the incredible experiences geocaching has brought us over the years and to all the explorers out there. Here’s to the next 1,000 finds—happy caching!
Please put the cache back where you found it!! Thanks.
Please note: The charred surfaces of the trees may leave soot on your hands, so you might want to bring some gloves.
A small prize is buried under a tree near a blue Marshall tag for the FTF. Happy Caching!
