Streak Week

Geocaching HQ is encouraging geocachers to geocache every day from 25 August to 31 August. Those who find a cache each day during this week will get a souvenir.

Geocaching HQ awards souvenirs for a variety of reasons. Whenever geocachers find a geocache in a new state, they are awarded a souvenir on their profile page at geocaching.com. Geocaching HQ also plans a handful of promotions throughout the year to encourage geocachers. For instance, all geocachers who attend a Cache In, Trash Out (CITO) event during a specific period receives a special CITO souvenir.

Today, Capt TailWagger and I took a walk on the Pufferbelly Trail, a rail-trail in Northern Allen County, Indiana, to find a pair of recently published geocaches. According to the app on my phone we walked 2.25 miles from car to caches and back. I sort of doubt that we walked that far becasue it we were made the trip in less than 45 minutes, including time to find the geocaches and sign the logs.

Sunday when Streak Week began, I found four caches, including one in Swayzee, Indiana, featuring Garfield. Swayzee claims to be the only Swayzee in the world. Monday, we drove up to Michigan to sign a couple of challenge caches I have completed and to find the BIG Orange Travel Bug Convention Center.

If you’re a geocacher, are you streaking this week? Are you interested in getting souvenirs? Leave a comment and let me know. Thanks. And please subscribe.
