Geocache Talk - Geocaching Network

How do you find geocaches from December 2000? In this episode of Challenge Talk, we break down practical strategies for tracking down some of the oldest geocaches still active today. These historic hides are more than just rare finds, they’re milestones in geocaching history, and finding them takes research, planning, and the right approach. We talk about how to prepare for older cache types, research legacy listings, and build a strategy that improves your odds before you ever head out. Whether you’re working toward a geocaching challenge, chasing old-school smileys, or trying to add a piece of geocaching history to your stats, this episode will help you.

We’re diving into user-supplied geocaching puzzles: the clever, quirky, devious, delightful creations sent in by the geocaching community. From “I solved it in five minutes” confidence traps to puzzles that make you question every life choice since breakfast, this episode celebrates the creativity of puzzle cache owners and the brave solvers who try to crack their codes.
We’ll look at what makes a user-submitted puzzle memorable, how different puzzle styles challenge different types of thinkers, and why community-created puzzles often bring some of the best surprises to geocaching.

EarthCaches have always been more than just another icon on the map. They take us to cliffs, caves, shorelines, road cuts, fossils, faults, and formations, places where geocaching becomes a hands-on lesson in how the Earth works.
But in 2026, the geocaching community is watching a new wave of EarthCache archivals, updates, and tough conversations unfold.
What’s being called the “EarthCache purge” has many cachers asking the same questions: Why are these caches disappearing? What makes an EarthCache worth saving? And what can cache owners do before it is too late?
This week on Geocache Talk, we’re joined by All Things EarthCache to dig into what’s happening, what it means for the future of EarthCaching, and how geocachers can help preserve high-quality educational experiences in the game.
