  1. I need the old search I need to be able to find old caches and I like to view the most favored caches in a state or region. If this is possible on the new search page I haven't figured it out.
  2. Please leave the old search. In this case, I am proudly one of the 1%-ers. Next thing they will do is get rid of is pocket queries. I started to laugh but then realized you could be right since i doubt most phone app users ever use them.
  3. The Smithsonian Natural History GeoTour consists of a total of nine geocaches: two EarthCaches, six puzzle caches, and one traditional. Our goal is to extend the outreach and educational content of the Natural History Museum beyond the National Mall and our website, and into a personal educational field experience. The nine NMNH geocaches will take you on an archaeological and geological trip to the area near South Mountain, PA; to a wetland habitat in an area that once was part of a military base and that is in the process of returning to its natural habitat in northern Virginia; a visit to the dinosaur park just south of Laurel, MD; as well as expose you to corners of NMNH exhibits and web sites that you might have overlooked. You will learn about active research, and how that research improved airline safety for the traveling public; how research being done is making significant changes to our understanding of the peopling of North America, a current topic which has fostered much controversy and debate in the archaeological community. Each of the NMNH geocache pages contain a wealth of educational content, and the nine cache locations have been specifically chosen to provide geocachers with an outdoor learning experience. Our intent is that the experience of completing the National Museum of Natural History GeoTour will be more than finding the geocaches. Our hope is that you come away with a better understanding of the scope of the National Museum of Natural History. And have a bit of fun along the way! Come and experience natural history through geocaching!

Geocaching is primarily an outdoor activity in which the geocacher uses a hand held global positioning system receiver (GPS) or a smartphone to locate a point of interest. At the point of interest there may be a physical container, or (in the case of an EarthCache) no container but a geologic feature to be examined.
