Road to GeoWoodstock: Planning Finds
In my last post I made mention that I intended for Canada’s First Giga to be my milestone 1,500th find. Yesterday I reached 1,496 meaning I have three finds to make before I log “Attended” for the Giga. Of course, with side events that are happening before and during GWXVIII, this means I have to…

Road to GeoWoodstock: Parting Gift!
I was sitting on 1,495 finds when I got up this morning, and I had planned to not cache anymore until I reached GeoWoodstock XVIII – the idea being that I would get a couple of side events and local caches logged before hitting find #1,500 with the Giga-event itself! Well, it seems the local…

Road to GeoWoodstock: Mama me0w
So here’s what happened. Waaaay way back in the old 2010’s (2019 to be exact) not too long after the announcement of GeoWoodstock XVIII, I decided to splurge and get the VIP registration package.

Why are the older posts in this blog so sparse?
We wish they weren’t. Our server suffered a major failure in 2019 that wiped out all our content. We were able to recover a few articles from old backups, and recreated a few more, but our thriving legacy content is largely no more.

Hint for a Puzzle Cache
It’s worth noting that Highlands_Guy, for whom this hint was prepared, passed on to the Great Giga-Event in the Sky just a few months after I sent him this. Seriously, f— cancer.

Moving cache visits Victoria!
Originally Submitted by dethme0w on Sat, 01/31/2015 Last weekend, the me0ws had the rare pleasure of handling and re-hiding a moving cache! GCDB76 “Jacob’s Moving Cache #3” landed on Vancouver Island from a trip to Hawaii some time last month, and made its way down island to Greater Victoria. It has been all over North…

Road to GeoWoodstock: Early geo-coin
Note the date on this geo-coin I purchased at the beginning of the pandemic. I wonder if I’ll be able to get a companion coin with the revised 2022 date when I get to GWXVIII?

Have some log sheets!
Just print these out – preferably with a laser printer on Rite-In-The-Rain paper – and cut them up to get lots of log strips for micro caches! I use these in my own caches and they work really well!

Landsharkz Grab Bag
Here’s a brief unbagging video of a $25 grab bag I purchased at Landsharkz’z brick-and-mortar store at a holiday event they held today. Do you think I got a good deal? I think so. The video doesn’t quite capture eveything: I got *two* of these trackables in the bag:
Same planet, different world.
