GeoWoodstock: SO MANY TRACKABLES!
There never was any way I was going to discover them all, even if all I did all day was run around taking pictures! Every kind you can imagine was spotted at GeoWoodstock: nametags, cars, clothes, travel bugs, geocoins – even tattoos! Here’s a video montage of SOME of the trackables.

Yet another new icon: Locationless
Some time ago Groundspeak published and locked the first Locationless (Reverse) cache in a very long time. GC9FAVE “Discovered while geocaching – Locationless Cache” was unlocked this morning, and will remain available until the end of 2024.

It comes with special parking, a special seating area, lunch, and a s—ton of swag. Sweet deal right? After the two…

Road to GeoWoodstock: Early geo-coin
Note the date on this geo-coin I purchased at the beginning of the pandemic. I wonder if I’ll be able to get a companion coin with the revised 2022 date when I get to GWXVIII?

Road to GeoWoodstock: the Announcement!
I love the sense of humour of the Landsharkz crew. Today a mini-me0w and I attended Yet Another Tim Horton’s Event cache, but we had to leave early due to m-ggle commitments elsewhere. We arrived, said our hellos, ate a donut, signed the log book and off we went. Later today, the event hosts changed…
