2020 Geocaching HQ souvenir moments

[+Max and 99 1115]

I love surprises! Except when I don't know about them ahead of time. 😁

 

2020 Geocaching HQ souvenir moments

 

I can't wait to see what they have planned!

[+The A-Team 1791]

Ah, more "moments".

 

Most of those are to be expected, since they happen every year (or every 4 years for Leap Day). I'm not surprised about the Blue Switch Day one, since it makes sense to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the removal of Selective Availability.

 

I'm glad to see that we'll continue to see more country souvenirs. It would be nice to see a faster pace so we can finally get souvenirs for all of them, but at least we keep getting more.

Hey @Geocaching HQ, this past Wednesday was the third Wednesday of January, so we were expecting a new regional souvenir. Has that been delayed? I haven't seen any sign of a new souvenir.

A new regional souvenir was released today, for the Aland Islands. That's quite unexpected :-)

We were told to expect a new souvenir last week (the 3rd Wednesday of the month), but that didn't happen. Instead, we got it on the 4th Wednesday.

 

It's nice to see souvenirs for some of the less-visited regions. Being more rare, they're arguably "worth" more.

And another new souvenir for next Sunday (I saw it in a Facebook-group, I didn't recieve it in an email or through another announcement): https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2020/01/new-souvenir-fun-in-all-directions/?fbclid=IwAR1mLJstmXI26qWhKMugLqcnXptFOcVbtq-5N6dKIGEPY6UYrGJKQRTDTGY

New palindrome souvenir! 

 

 

[+Max and 99 1115]

Now we wait for news on the February 29 souvenir.

[+Max and 99 1115]

Announced!  

Leap Day 2020

 

Imagine if there was an extra day in the year for geocaching. Well, this year there is! Start planning your outings to get your Leap Day 2020 digital souvenir by finding a cache, Adventure Lab*, or attending an Event on Saturday, February 29th.

Leap Day only comes once every 4 years, so it is fitting to save this day for caches that are hard to come by or difficult to find. Take advantage of your Leap Day by avenging a difficult DNF or cracking the code for a tough Mystery cache.

We can’t wait to hear all about your Events and outings on this special day!

You know people are going to say they didn't get enough notice!

[+Max and 99 1115]

I apologize for assuming this might be souvenir related. It may not be!

If you look at the URL, it includes "souvenircampaign" so yes, I'm pretty sure there's a souvenir involved.

Maybe I missed it, but has there already been a release of a country souvenir this month?

the last one on A-teams site is the one for Vatican City State, released in February.  Nothing in March.
