+Weber_and_Sons Posted April 1 Posted April 1 Today I was looking through other geocachers profiles as one does when I came across a couple cache types I have never heard of; so if you could please explain these cache types to me. are there any not archived, and how would one go about logging one, how rare are they, are they any good, and what makes them different? 1. NGS benchmarks 2. GPS adventure exhibit 3. project APE caches 4. geocache HQ celebration Quote

+JL_HSTRE Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I was disappointed I never got to do the GPS Adventure Exhibit. 1 Quote
+Vooruit! Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Why? It's still possible to find it. May 3rd in Prague for example. Quote
+JL_HSTRE Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I thought the Adventure Maze had either gone exclusively international or never returned after the pandemic. Is there somewhere that lists upcoming locations? When Florida got Geowoodstock a decade ago there wasn't an Adventure Maze with it. I'm not aware of the Maze ever coming closer to me than Nashville. Quote
+Weber_and_Sons Posted April 3 Author Posted April 3 (edited) What are NGS benchmarks though and how do I find them? Edited April 3 by Weber_and_Sons Quote

Benchmarking is still in the forums, under 'Geocaching types and additional GPS-based gameplay' and it'll give you information. Now that it's no longer a 'geocache', it's no longer listed on 'all nearby...' on cache pages. But... you might find a few listed on the Waymarking site by clicking 'all nearby waymarks on Waymarking.com' on cache pages. Like the (real, now gone too) Locationless caches, some folks have been placing Benchmarks on Waymarking.com . We have a few Locationless caches on our profile, if you'd like to take a look...

I don't think there is a formal calendar or list for them. I found 5 for this year, all in Europe as the 6th in Texas has already passed.
