Winter Caching
 Geowoodstock X is on Memorial Weekend this year, May 26th, in Sellersburg, IN.

Cache Advance will be there (Gold Sponsor), and we're really excited to see so many of you there! If you haven't attended Geowoodstock, we invite you join us this year!

Experience the world's largest gathering of geocachers.

Combining a meet and greet opportunity for players from around the world with a series of classes and workshops, appearances by legends of the Geocaching community and the single largest assembly of Geocaching vendors, GeoWoodstock has grown from a small meeting into the annual international convention for the game of Geocaching.

 

Each year, GeoWoodstock is held in a new geographic region and hosted by the local clubs, giving cachers from around the world a chance to hunt, explore and make new friends in fresh and interesting territory.

See you there!

Geomate.jr Discontinued
 
We regret to inform you that the Geomate.jrs have been discontinued and the Update Zone is no longer available. More here.

Even though we stopped carrying the Geomate.jr GPS units last fall due to distribution problems, we did supply many hundreds to our customers over the years.

For now, there is some software available here that will allow anyone with an Update Kit and a PC to load a Pocket Query from Geocaching.com to a Geomate.jr.

 

Be Our Valentine!
NEWS, UPDATES AND TIPS 
Greetings!

Welcome to our Valentine's newsletter. We've got a bunch of things to share with you today:
  • Gear Spotlight: Newly Designed Bolt Geocache 
  • Valentine Caching Contest   
  • Leap Day - February 29 
  • End of Life for Geomate.jr
  • Geowoodstock X 
  • New Affiliate Program 
  • Free Shipping coupon (bottom)  
  • Mystery Caches... 

Mystery Caches: Now that we're in the throws of winter in the northern climes, we'd like to take a minute to mention the lonely puzzle caches. Winter is the best time to work on those puzzles! You can now update the cache page coordinates on puzzles that you've solved. We like to make a bookmark list of solved puzzles and then plan to go find them when the weather clears up.  

 

We thought about putting together a whole article on solving puzzle caches, but decided to we would share with you the work another cacher has already done on a great series: Puzzle Solving 101 Series (bookmark list) which starts with Puzzle Solving 101 - Lesson 1: Strategy. Good luck and happy solving (and finding) those puzzles! 

 

But before you settle in to solving a bunch of puzzle caches, be sure to read the rest of this newsletter!

 

Happy reading, and of course, Happy Caching!

The Cache Advance Crew. 

   

New Bolt Cache Design and New Color
New Cache Advance Bolts
We've redesigned the Fake Bolt Cache and added a new color: Black!

The new bolts are wholly machined with a solid screw-on top. The magnet is nestled safely inside the top 'nut' which also protects it from the elements along with the o-ring.

Inside is still the same super secret compartment with a Rite in the Rain logbook and metal toggle for logbook retrieval. The new bolts still come in the ever popular Silver and Rust (pictured), and are now available in the cool covert Black.


Up the difficulty on your next hide!

 
Valentine Couple Caching
What better way to say 'I love you' than to take your sweetie on a fun cache outing?

Post your Valentine's Caching Pics to our Facebook Page!
Geocaching is absolutely ideal for couples to engage in together. The adventure of hunting down geocaches is best spent with another person to share in the experience. Couples can work together to decipher clues on trickier geocache finds, and working together can improve communication skills and build a real sense of camaraderie. Often, locating a cache will involve some travel, which gives couples a great chance to talk about whatever is on their minds--away from many of the distractions of modern living. Couples may discover things about each other that they never knew before.

Geocaching can be a great way for couples to get in shape together, as it often involves hiking out to locations. This also gives a fantastic opportunity to get outdoors in the fresh air and improve one's navigational skills. Couples can arrange days together to go out geocaching for an inexpensive and memorable date.

Remember to post your Valentine's couple caching pictures (or any couple caching pictures) to our Facebook Fan Page, and you might be selected to be our Fan of the Week!  



Leap Day -1 out of 1460!

Along with puzzles and other challenge  type caches, is the ever daunting 'filling in the calendar' that is found on your statistics page of your geocaching profile. This year offers the added bonus of filling in February 29th, Leap Day! 

 

Everyone who logs a "Found it" or "Attended" this February 29 will receive the Leap Day Souvenir on their profile. As an added bonus, Premium Members who love to look at their "finds by date" statistics most likely see a blank square on the calendar on February 29.  

 

Many communities are hosting Leap Day events. Be sure to check your local event listings to see if one is already posted -always more fun to share the day with your geo-friends! 

 

This is your chance to fill in the square -the 366th day of geocaching!

 

Next time you are at your computer downloading or logging your caches, be sure to check out all the new gear, trackables and more at our Site!

Happy Caching,
