Celebrating 15 years of Geocaching | The Geocaching Junkie

June 12, 2015

On 3rd June 2000, exactly one month after the first ever geocache was hidden in Beavercreek, Oregon by Dave Ulmer, Europe’s First (GC43) was hidden on Bray Head, in county Wicklow, Ireland.

June 2, 2015

I went on two weekend trips in May, and although the sole purpose of neither trip was geocaching, I naturally managed to fit a few good caches in there 🙂 The first trip was to the Giant’s Causeway on the North Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland.

April 30, 2015

April has been a relatively quiet month for me on the caching front. Of course, I have still been finding a minimum of one cache per day (April 30th is the 262nd day of my streak!), but I haven’t had time to go on any major geocaching adventures. The highlight of the month by far… Read More CITO 2015 and a birthday FTF adventure in the woods! | The Geocaching Junkie
