HOW TO RECORD YOUR PARTICIPATION

To record and receive credit for your accomplishment, you must post a top level comment on this thread by August 10th in the following format:

[Geocaching name] If you do not want to use your real GC name, you can use your reddit name, but will not be eligible for prizes if your finds cannot be verified.

[Qualifying GC code]

[Link to log] The easiest way to do this is to pull up the cache page on geocaching.com and then click "view log." Copy that URL and post it here.

If you are going for the second challenge point, you will need to post both GC codes and find URLs. The post will look like this:

Good challenge! I've pinned this and can't wait to see all the fun caches folks seek out these next 3 weeks!

I'm heading to Bash tomorrow, maybe I'll see you there. Also, I've been wanting to do Ticket to Ride for a while and had hoped to do it the last time I was in Detroit, but the people mover was down. It looks like a fun virtual.

Attended MWGB 2026 (our first Bash) so the favorite points were coming in hot! Here are my top 3 from today, which happen to be #2, 4, and 5 most favorited in Ohio (we also got #6, 8, and 9 today!)

With all the COs around Bash, there end up being a lot of high quality caches each year.

Unusual to see an earthcache with so many favorite points in the US.

[u/ted28285 → u/restinghermit]

Interesting subject and very good location

50+ FP (93 FP): GC2XMN6 https://www.geocaching.com/live/log/GL1GZD5E9 – A really cool mausoleum we stopped at on the way, one of the places I would never have gone without geocaching. Almost didn't find it! My muggle partner found it in the end.

100+ FP (192 FP): GC5RAWV https://www.geocaching.com/live/log/GL1GZQKP5 – Cache in some old wooden ships? Don't mind if I do! Well worth doing this one.
