+BarnabysTravels Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I found and logged a cache yesterday afternoon, Saturday 15 August 2020, but have not been awarded the International Geocaching Day 2020 souvenir. When I logged that find I WAS awarded a souvenir in the Memory Lane promotion as soon as I posted the log. Does this mean that you can only receive one souvenir per log entry? Quote Link to comment

It's never been that way but that's a good question. I'll find out in a little bit and post my experience. Quote Link to comment

No... you can earn several. Since you live "down under" it might be related to the timezone, because you should have received the IGD souvenir also. I suggest that you delete the prior log and... log again. Edited August 15, 2020 by RuideAlmeida 1 Quote Link to comment
+G0ldNugget Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I received both a Int'l Geocaching Day Souvenir and one for Memory Lane today, so yes, you can earn more than one. I agree with RuideAlmeida. My guess it's a time zone thing. Check the dates listed for your finds and relog, if necessary. Quote Link to comment

+BarnabysTravels Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Thanks to all. Pity the email about International Geocaching Day didn't refer to a time zone limitation. I don't much like deleting and reposting: confuses CO as to what is going on. There is another Mystery final I've been meaning to get for ages, so I'll pop out today and hopefully find that one to earn the souvenir in the 'right' time zone.

Darwin473 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I read the promotion as "find a cache on the 15th or the 16th" and assumed that it meant the weekend Seattle time. Meaning it'd be offset around 16 hours for those of us on this half of the planet. Or did it mean 15th Seattle time, 16th Eastern Hemisphere time? One 24 hour block would make sense for an International Geocaching Day, but I read it as being over the weekend. To allow people in different countries around the globe to participate even accounting for that minor global pandemic thingy... Quote Link to comment

The first Blog said " By logging any cache type on August 15 or 16, you can earn the International Geocaching Day 2020 souvenir." But then the latest said " Geocachers who log a “Found it” on Saturday, August 15 will earn a souvenir for their Geocaching profile page! " - So it all depends on which blog you viewed I guess.

The souvenir itself says: Quote Happy International Geocaching Day 2020! By logging any cache type on August 15 or 16, you can earn the International Geocaching Day 2020 souvenir. Usually with these special date ones (this one, Earthcache day, Blue Switch day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day), it just goes by the logging date and is irrespective of time zone.

+Goldenwattle Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks for reminding me to go fade out this latest souvenir. Shame I can't delete it. All these unwanted souvenirs make it harder to see the souvenirs I want to see; countries, states and the like. I briefly considered not caching yesterday, so I wouldn't get it. Quote Link to comment

HQ replied to a tweet and said that Lab caches would count too, but I've confirmed that they do not. I completed all 5 locations of an Adventure Lab yesterday, but there's no sign of the souvenir. Luckily, I did find a Traditional as well just in case Labs didn't work, so I'll log that and I should then get the souvenir. The earlier blog post was correct in saying that you can log a find on either day to get the souvenir. I've confirmed that someone who only found a cache today did receive the souvenir. However, like our friends from down-under have discovered, it seems like the log had to be submitted later than an unknown time in order to count, even if the log date was for the 15th or 16th. My guess is that it needed to be submitted after 12am Seattle time, but that's just a wild guess. Such simple criteria and easy to communicate, and yet it still gets fumbled... 2 Quote Link to comment
+nicthorn Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I found 3 caches on Saturday, August 15, 2020 and did not receive the International Geocaching Day 2020 souvenir. My husband and 2 daughters logged the same caches and all received it. Quote Link to comment
