In order to round out the celestial souvenirs for this year, the December Solstice souvenir can be earned between December 20 and 22 by finding a geocache, completing an Adventure Lab location, or attending an event. I'll say, this will be a lot easier than completing this same challenge last year! Learn more about this souvenir on the official blog post here .

Adventure Day 2024

Image
A new celebratable (is that even a word?) day has made a calendar appearance - Adventure Day! This day reminds us that every day should be an adventure, and I love that adage - even though my days are so steeped in routine that they are yawn-worthy. To offset that, whenever I take a vacation, or even a three-day weekend trip, I try to make it worth it by trying new things and going to new places, or just finding one thing to do that's interesting. In order to earn an Adventure Day souvenir, log any Adventure Lab location from October 18 to 20. Read more about it on the official blog post here .

Cache In, Trash Out 2024 - Season Two

Oh, thank goodness! With the latest announcement of this season's Cache In, Trash Out, Geocaching has helped me to realize that I've been pronouncing it wrong. It's Sea-Toe, not Sigh-Toe (I guess my Dad had it right all along). Attend any CITO event from September 1 to November 30, 2024 to garner a well earned souvenir.

World Postcard Day 2024

Image
What the heck is World Postcard Day, and why are we celebrating it? Well, the anniversary of the postcard is on October 1, when it was officially issued and recognized by a postal operator in 1869. They had been evolving since the 17th century, and the first World Postcard Day was held in 2019 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the postcard. Postcards, like geocaches, help us to feel connected to people from all over. In order to earn the souvenir, we'll need to attend an event between September 29 and October 5, 2024. Learn more on the official blog post , and don't forget to visit the World Postcard Day website to learn more interesting factoids about the history of postcards, how you can celebrate the occasion and maybe even bring a little bit of joy to some other people.
