Celebrate 25 Years of Geocaching with a Special Locationless Cache!
Geocaching enthusiasts, it’s time to mark a significant milestone! The Geocaching community is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and there’s an exciting way for you to join in the festivities. Introducing the brand-new Locationless Cache, GC25X5, a unique opportunity to connect with the global geocaching family and honor 25 years of adventure, exploration, and discovery.
What Is a Locationless Cache?
Unlike traditional geocaches, where you hunt for a hidden container at specific coordinates, a Locationless Cache flips the script. In this type of geocache, you find something that meets the cache’s description and log it by providing proof—usually a photo and coordinates. This special Locationless Cache is a tribute to the creativity and innovation that geocaching has inspired over the past quarter-century.
How to Participate in the 25th Anniversary Cache
Here’s how you can log GC25X5 and be part of this historic event:
- Find a Geocaching Event or Landmark: Participate in a geocaching event or visit a location that celebrates the essence of geocaching. This could be a local meetup, a special geocaching trail, or even a significant geocaching site.
- Take a Photo: Capture the moment! Make sure the photo includes you, your GPS device or smartphone, and something that represents geocaching.
- Log Your Find: Visit the official GC25X5 cache page to log your find. Include your photo and a short story about your experience.
- Share Your Story: Spread the joy by sharing your adventure on social media using the hashtag #Geocaching25. Connect with fellow geocachers and relive the memories of your journey.

Why Celebrate 25 Years of Geocaching?
