Rise and shine, geocachers! Set your alarm clocks and prove you’ve got true grits (and coffee) for an early morning meetup. Who said Phase 2026 was supposed to be easy? This month we’ll jump start our work day with a good hearty Southern breakfast, and leave fueled to tackle whatever comes next!
EVENT SCHEDULE:
6:00am - Meet & greet. Sign the event log.
6:30am - Distribute the Phase 4 card to all attendees.
6:45am - Group photo.
7:00am - Event concludes.
What Are Phase 2026 Events?
The concept of P.H.A.S.E (Premier Hide & Seek Events) 2026 is based off a popular family card game. Phase 2026 is a monthly series of gatherings that are designed to be casual and informal, a great opportunity for all experience levels to meet & greet our local geocaching community.
When Do Phase 2026 Events Take Place?
One event will be held each month, somewhere in the greater Chattanooga area. Events may occur on any day of the week and at any time of day (or night). They will typically last 30-60 minutes.
What Can I Expect at a Phase 2026 Event?
At each event, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Meet and network with fellow geocachers.
- Sign the event log.
- Take a group photo.
- Receive the current Phase card.
Every attendee will receive three cards for the current phase (i.e. Phase 1 in January, Phase 2 in February, etc). Collect all 12 cards throughout the year, and bring them to Deck the Firehalls on December 6, 2026 to receive an exciting prize to be announced later in the year (you won't want to miss out).
How Do I Get a Card If I Miss an Event?
There are two main ways:
- Trading: Each attendee will receive three cards. One card to keep, and two to share or trade. After a phase event has ended, its card is no longer distributed, and can only be obtained by trading with other geocachers.
- Later in the year: Previous phase cards will become available for a suggested donation, with all proceeds supporting future Chattanooga Area Geocachers events and projects.
