    Geocache Talk - The Lost Caches Project

    The Lost Caches Project — The Hunt Begins! An archived listing. A forgotten trail. A weathered ammo can waiting beneath years of leaves. What remains when a geocache disappears from the map? Join Geocache Talk Network this Sunday at 7pm Central as we venture into geocaching’s forgotten history! We’re discussing The Lost Caches Project: tracking down the oldest archived caches in your area and documenting what remains. From abandoned containers in the woods to the missing Project A.P.E. caches around the world, every location holds a story. Who placed it? What adventures happened there? And could a piece of that history still be hiding in plain sight? Grab your flashlight, dust off those old coordinates, and bring your curiosity! We’ll talk about researching vanished caches, respecting property boundaries and access rules, and preserving the stories behind these lost treasures. Have you rediscovered an archived cache—or have one you’ve always wanted to investigate? Bring your stories and questions to the live chat!   #geocaching #geocache #GeocacheTalk #archived

    Geocache Talk - New Attributes are Needed!

    What if the geocaching attribute you’ve always wanted but doesn’t exist yet? 🤔 This Sunday on the Geocache Talk Network, we’re going beyond the familiar icons on cache listings. We’ve got ideas for new attributes we think should be added—and we want to hear yours! What would help you know what to expect before heading to a cache? What deserves its own icon? Bring your funniest ideas, your most useful ideas, and the ones that make you say, “How is that not an attribute already?” Join us Sunday at 7 PM Central and share your picks in the live chat. Your idea might be the one everyone wishes they’d thought of! 🧭 👇 Get the conversation started: What new geocaching attribute would YOU add? #Geocaching #GeocacheTalk #GeocachingAttributes

    Geocache Talk - YOUR COORDINATES ARE MOVING?!?

    The United States is preparing to replace the official reference system used for latitude, longitude, and elevation—and some published coordinates could change by as much as four meters! But what does that actually mean for geocachers? Will your carefully placed cache suddenly have the “wrong” coordinates? Could puzzle finals, property boundaries, benchmarks, and older GPS data be affected? And if nothing on the ground is physically moving, why are the numbers changing? Join the Geocache Talk Network this Sunday at 7:00 p.m. Central as we separate the science from the sensational headlines and explore one of the biggest changes to America’s coordinate system in decades. We’ll discuss: 🛰️ Why the United States is retiring its current coordinate reference systems 📍 How coordinates can move even when the location does not 🧭 What a shift of up to four meters could mean for geocaching 📦 Whether existing cache coordinates will need to be updated 🌎 Why satellites are replacing more than a million physical survey markers 🤔 Whether geocachers should be concerned—or whether this is mostly hype Your cache hasn’t moved…but its coordinates might! Read the article that started the conversation: The United States is replacing every official latitude, longitude and height it publishes Watch live Sunday at 7:00 p.m. Central and join the conversation! #Geocaching #GeocacheTalk #GPS #Coordinates #Navigation #GeocacheTalkNetwork
