You step into a Paris bookstore packed with hundreds of books. Somewhere among the crowded shelves is the one you’re looking for. You scan the titles, double back, and try very hard not to look suspicious.
There’s just one problem: the booksellers already know exactly what you’re doing.
Welcome to Le Livre d’Hélios (GC7V294), our Geocache of the Week!
Imagine a trip through the desert as a weary traveler. The harsh sun beats down on you as you struggle through the sand. Heat radiates in seemingly every direction. At last, you spy what appears to be a beautiful green tree on the horizon. Could it be a mirage? With each step, your confidence builds as its impressive foliage comes into full view!
Join us as we travel to Bahrain to find its oldest geocache, the Tree of Life (GCP4ZC)!
Since 2004, EarthCaches have encouraged geocachers to explore and celebrate the extraordinary geologic features of our planet, like these colorful rock formations in China. Shaped over millions of years by tectonic forces and erosion, the painted hills of Zhangye National Geopark are among the world’s most colorful natural wonders.
Ahoy matey! We’re excited to share information about an upcoming Treasures collection. On September 22, geocachers can start working to complete the Pirate Treasures collection. To collect these swashbuckling Treasures, cachers must find and log Mystery Caches or Multi-Caches with a difficulty rating of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, or 4.
For the past few years, we’ve caught up with Marcellus Cadd (atreides) of Geocaching While Black to hear where geocaching has taken him lately, and this year, there’s a lot to talk about.
We talked with him about his latest travels, balancing community service with caching for yourself, Treasure collecting, the enduring appeal of Traditional Caches, and what he wishes he could tell his 2018 geocaching self.
