“The Geocaching Triad” Geocaching.com’s Lost & Found Video

Lackeys | Lost & Found Stories | Milestones | Movie References

This video follows Ohio, USA geocachers Keith Lemons (keithlemons) and Nancy Steyer (27jack) as they visit the three caches required to complete the Triad. Beware, the video containers spoilers. The Triad is one of the crowning achievements of geocaching. Geocachers must log three specific geocaches: the APE Cache Mission 9: Tunnel of Light, Groundspeak Headquarters and the Original Stash Cache. Each find is rich in geocaching tradition. The geocaches do not need to be logged in any particular order. The Original Stash Tribute Plaque hides outside of Portland, Oregon. The plaque there commemorates the placement of the first geocache in [...]

A Journey of 1001 Days of Geocaching

Extreme Geocaching | Milestones | Movie References

Editor’s Note: Kiet and Jill Callies (kietc) along with their daughter visited Groundspeak HQ on June 18th, 2010. It was their 1001st straight day of geocaching. The journey began on September 22, 2007 and ended that day at HQ. Kiet authored this guest blog. This is his story. These are his words.

Roadtrip? Just add Geocaching…

Lackeys | Movie References | Trackable Items

You can take it with you whether you’re road tripping for business or during a family holiday. A group of Lackeys did just that this weekend. They road tripped from Seattle, Washington USA, one state south to Oregon. Why? The Lackeys revisited a movie at the heart of all things geocaching. They took part in the celebration “Never Say Die – The Goonies 25th Anniversary Celebration”. “The Goonies” is a classic location based treasure hunting film featuring [...]

Geocaching and Talking Animals

Movie References

Okay. So, this will all come together, promise. A children’s story by Lewis Carroll came to life again earlier this year. The latest incarnation of Alice in Wonderland includes the standards like talking animals; cats, rabbits and caterpillars galore. But agree or not, the story’s leading lady Alice is a geocaching pioneer. The adventure seeker finds a rabbit hole (read: geocache)… and slips into another world (read: geocaching enthusiast). Sure, Alice is in 3D and there’s the whole Johnny Depp situation, but really, a stretch? I don’t think so. Remember your first geocache? Whether you’ve found ten more, a hundred [...]
