Neos2 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It's not too soon to start thinking about International EarthCache Day 2024! We will celebrate it from Friday, October 11 through Sunday, October 13, 2024. How will you commemorate the date? Invite people to join you at your EarthCache to learn a bit more from the awesome CO? Take a walk to an EarthCache you have not yet visited (You can earn a souvenir during those days for visiting an EarthCache and fulfilling the requirements) However you celebrate the day, please post here to let us all know what EarthCache you visited and tell us a little about your visit.

It's been quite a while since there were any new ECs close to home, so International EarthCache Day generally means a long drive somewhere. Last year I did "Grand Canyon" (GCA9FJ2) in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, about a two hour drive each way from here, and this year I have my sights set on "Potholes @ Boat Harbour" (GC4A7EF) near Port Stephens, a similar distance north of here. For the souvenir weekend, low tide is late morning so I'm just hoping the seas aren't too big for me to safely get out to it. There's also a nearby new virtual I'm keen to do plus a DNF from earlier in the year that I want to avenge now that the CO's replaced the missing cache, so it should be a fun day if the weather gods permit. 2 Quote Link to comment
+Awesnap Posted Wednesday at 10:39 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:39 AM I look forward to this weekend every year! Because if you own a bunch of Earthcaches like I do, you get swarmed with answers for 3 to 4 days. It's like the Super Bowl of being an Earthcache owner. I may be in the minority, but I really enjoy tracking each log and responding to all answers. Last year I had 118 logs, and 140 for the year before. I just love it, as I treat it as a test of my organizational abilities. I am hoping I can find one, but that is tough because I eagerly track down any of the lower terrain earthcaches within a 100 mile radius after they publish. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
