Geocaching with Woo

You can get a new souvenir by finding a cache on Leap Day, February 29. If you're into challenges and challenge caches, this will help fill in a 366 days of the year challenge. Four years ago, there was a hidden message in the Leap Day souvenir. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing it this year.

Another trackable promotion has been announced featuring Nickelodeon's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This promotion celebrates the 35th Anniversary of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with a give-away of an additional 1,000 limited edition Total Turtle Power group trackables across the globe. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to "help these half-shell heroes discover new adventures and hidden locations around the world by moving them from cache to cache. Find all four Turtles + the bonus Total Turtle Power trackable and share your TMNT finds on social using #TMNTcache and tag @TMNT!" Request your free trackable here !

The Experience Tioga County GeoTour consists of 27 geocaches, 25 of which contain code words which are needed to fill in the passport . Five additional code words can be obtained from local partners. At three locations, the code word is available with a purchase, at two other locations, you just need to ask for the code word. If you unscramble the code words into a phrase, you get two points, and you can get additional points for submitting up to 4 receipts for purchases from locally owned and operated businesses (no chains or gas stations) and a hotel (which can be a chain). If you get 25 points, you're eligible for a giveaway from Tioga County Tourism, if you get 30 points, you're eligible for a Silver Experience Tioga GeoCoin. So, that's all of the information that I received when starting this GeoTour. It was only later that I realized that I had questions that needed to be answered. Does a code word equal one point? What about the two geocaches that don't...

A new souvenir? No way!!! But yes, there is one. On February 2, 2020 (02022020), log a find on any cache, attend an event or complete an Adventure Lab in order to get your souvenir .

OMG! I just learned that I've been awarded an Adventure Lab! Way back when, I applied to get one, never imagining that I would actually be awarded one. Apparently, a second round opened up, and I was awarded one. The thing is, I have no idea what to do!!!!! Help!!!!!
