Are you ready for a challenge? Geocaching has teamed up with GeoGuessr for a limited time souvenir challenge. From March 26 through April 12, play the location guessing game on GeoGuessr. It's my understanding from reading the official blog post , that after guessing at least one out of ten locations correctly, you will be rewarded with a tracking code, which, when logged, will earn you a souvenir. The locations are shown using Google Street Maps, and are centered on actual geocaching locations. This is a limited time challenge, so don't forget to log your tracking code by April 12!

A new souvenir has been announce for next year - the 2024 Hider! In order to earn it, a geocache needs to be hidden or an event needs to be hosted from January 1 to December 31, 2024. So, what do you think, easy enough? I, of course, overthink things, so I'll probably push it to the last minute, but I do have some ideas...

I haven't seen it on the official blog, yet, but it was announced on Facebook yesterday that a souvenir will be awarded for the December Solstice! In order to earn it, find 12 geocaches between December 17 and 23. Happy caching!
