A little celebratory meet n greet here at Estes Park near the Visitor Center for those who can't be in Seattle to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Geocaching.

So, in honor, we're sharing the same day with a celebration event here! smileysmiley

Think, it would be a great idea to meet other geocacher and locals on my US Roadtrip through the west. And it's also special to meet on this high elevation at about 2.288 meter / 7506 feet.

When: Saturday, 20. August 2022

Time:  09:30 am to 11:30 am

TBs and Coins are welcome to travel with me back to Germany/Munich.

Hoping to meet lots of geocaching enthusiasts! laugh

What and amazing event, and what an awesome host! It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces, and meet a couple of new ones. I'm glad the host didn't lose their phone, Whaleshark is just so nice. German chocolate? THE BEST! This was also the start of TNT's 11 cache type in one day, so a perfect start to that. I hope the host wasn't overly burdened with taking all of those trackables, lots of us wanted them to get out of the states for an adventure. Thank you so much for making that possible! Until our paths cross again (when I come visit haha!) I hope you all have great caching adventures.

Very fun event on this very pleasant day! Nice to meet cachers from across the water and see others I haven't seen for quite a while. Thanks for hosting Whaleshark.

It was great to see some familiar faces and meet new ones this morning. I'm glad the event was scheduled for a good amount of time, traffic caused me to be a little late. Then everyone got to talking and I think it was after 12 when we finally dispersed. I headed off to start one of the Wherigos in town. Along the way, I saw 2 baby snakes, a herd of female elk and a few of their fawns, and a hummingbird I can't seem to identify. As I was finding a cache in town, I bumped into our event host! It started to pour, so we got to talk for a bit as we waited it out. Thank you Whaleshark!

I attended with LilRyRy and CDRSheppo. We drove up from Colorado Springs for this event, and I discovered a ton of new trackables while we were here. We found some other caches while we were in town, and my dad met up with us for a visit to Ride-A-Kart, lunch at Notchtop Bakery & Cafe, and shopping at Estes Ark and Creativity Cabin before the storm arrived. Thanks for hosting this event, and enjoy the rest of your trip!

Hello dear attendees and greetings from still far away, but very soon I'll be on my way across the big ocean! I'm really looking forward to my trip and of course to get to know you and spending some time together with our beautiful hobby.
There will be the Geocaching-Day-Souvenir for today and also an extra Geocaching-World-Record-Souvenir on this day (if we make it). Can't wait meeting you!
