USA's very 1st GIGA GeoWoodStock made History in the Caching world!


What a time for Geocachers all over the USA! 



May 26, 2018 in Cincinnati, Ohio history was made.  Over seven THOUSAND geocachers from all over the world joined in this GeoWoodStock to make it a GIGA event. We met up with TN geocachers along with making new friends along the way. Events were held at various areas throughout the state of Ohio & Kentucky.  Oh yes, it was soooo hot but we all made it though with several showers a day and with extra dry sets of clothes.





Geocachers met up about 10 am Saturday morning at Coney Island which we found out was also OPENING day for the park. Now think of this and adding seven thousands more bodies!  Vendors were set up under booths where you could purchase tags, medallions, you name it, it was sold! There was even a Scottish vendor set up.



We met this delightful couple while at one of the events. We've got an open invitation from them to come and visit......who knows! Janet is from New Zealand and John is from England....now married and both live in England.  If we get a chance to visit them......geocaching will be on the menu.  We loved to keep running into them!

Here you can barely see the GeoWoodStock letters for all the people. 
Drones took this pic.

Now you can see the letters before the crowd got there!
