Geocaching HQ started a new souvenir promotion this month called Reach the Peak. It will last several months, with a new peak each month. This month’s peak is Puncak Jaya, the highest peak in Oceania. Geocachers are awarded points for each cach found, and the goal is to get 4,884 points. A Multicache is worth 600 points, a Mystery 500, an EarthCache 450, an Adventure Lab 350 and any other find 325.
As of this writing, I have 1,550 points. I’ve found two EarthCaches and two traditionals. After I found the first EarthCache, I had the first souvenir for the Puncak Jaya basecamp.
In September, the points will reset and a new peak will be summitted.
Although Fort Wayne is called the Summit City (it was the highest point on the Wabash-Erie Canal), I don’t plan to go to any actual mountains this month. But I do like this promotion. It should not be too hard for most people who cache regularly to achieve. If a person finds just 15 traditional geocaches, they will reach this month’s summit.

Yeah, I got the souvenirs in about 4 days. It was pretty easy. I’m guessing as we get to taller peaks it will be more of a challenge
