iPajero's trip across America

This month we are privileged to have iPajero, who are the most prolific geocachers in Africa (and South Africa then obviously) with currently more than 14 000 finds, share the details of their visit to America with us.  During their 5 month trip, they travelled almost 30 000 kilometres and found 1 900 geocaches, including finding the oldest active cache in the world and visiting the Groundspeak Headquarters.  Read all about their fascinating trip here.
There are some big geocaching weekend events coming up in the next few months:
• GC6B2Y6 Tswaing Crater Sleepover VIII, 2016 on 15-17 July in Gauteng
• GC6FRHH At The Coast (Weekend Event) on 26 - 28 August in Western Cape
Both these events look like they will be fantastic weekends, with lots of fun activities planned, so try attend one of them.  If there is nothing like this near you, maybe you should get together with some of your fellow local geocachers and plan one for your area,
The first set of CITO Week 2016 events are over now, were you one of the more than 80 teams that helped clean up the environment around you?
 
The next CITO week is September 17-25, keep an eye out for the next set of events.

16 Years of Geocaching

This May geocaching turns Sweet Sixteen.  On 2 May 2000 GPS signals were descrambled, increasing the accuracy of GPS devices worldwide by ten times. The following day, what would become known as the first geocache (now called The Original Stash and with GC code GCF) was hidden.
