The BEST 15 Years...
Join us as we celebrate 15 years of BEST — Berks Explorers Seeking Tupperware and the incredible geocaching community that has grown throughout Berks County!
For fifteen years (official anniversary date August 2nd), BEST has brought geocachers together through creative cache hides, memorable events, challenging adventures, and lasting friendships. From introducing newcomers to the hobby to creating some of Berks County's most recognizable geocaching experiences, BEST has helped showcase the history, beauty, and hidden gems of our region. The group's Adventure Lab Geo-Art series at the Pagoda in Reading, was designed to teach geocachers about Berks County's people, places, heritage, and history while providing a unique caching adventure.
Now it's time to gather once again at the shores of Ontelaunee Lake to celebrate fifteen years of finding Tupperware in the woods, solving puzzles, sharing stories, and building a community united by adventure.
Whether you've been caching with BEST since the beginning or are discovering Berks County geocaching for the first time, this event is an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and reflect on the many miles traveled, caches found, and memories created along the way.
Come celebrate the past, enjoy the present, and look forward to the future of geocaching in Berks County as we mark The BEST 15 Years! Here's to the next adventure!
