Geocaching is a worldwide scavenger hunt that uses a GPS or phone app with GPS. There are over 3 million active caches around the world. Some are as small as a dime, others are big enough to walk into, all of them provide a unique adventure. We invite you to share your stories, photos, and experiences!

Exactly one year ago today, thousands of geocachers and explorers gathered in Seattle, Washington, to celebrate over 20 years of geocaching. The official event ended up with over 2,700 Attended logs! Was anyone from Lemmy there, too?

I drove down there from north of the border for the weekend. Spent some time exploring Seattle, finding a bunch of really creative gadget caches, and generally hanging out with some good geo-friends. I was quite impressed by how far some people travelled in order to attend. I think it's still one of my fondest memories of 2022!

The ones that drove a long way, are those RV type people? I picture people in their 50s in their Winnebago hitting every state.
