Thanks to a blog post from Eco Florida regarding tourism sites promoting Geocaching in their local area we were able to add a new “Tourism” category to the Geocaching Resource Directory.

This seems to be a growing trend, with some localities creating special caches to show off their area’s features, like trails and beautiful views. Some are also holding contests with cache’s that contain prizes and coupons for use at local businesses. While these prize offerings may not sit well with some members of the ‘true blue’ Geocaching community the fact remains that they may be an incentive for some.

For us, we enjoy both Geocaching and travel so the more tourism sites that add this information just makes it easier for us, not only on planning our activities when we go somewhere but quite possibly in our destination decisions as well. Although we get caught in the big cities more often than we like our preferred travel is ‘off the beaten path’ so knowing about the ‘hidden gems’ of an area is a real bonus.

We recently reached over 300 Geocaching resource websites listed in our Geocaching directory!

These resources are shared over twenty-eight different categories with some of the fastest growing categories being Software, Blogs and Associations and Clubs. The Associations and Clubs category, which lists Geocaching associations and clubs around the world, now has almost half of the total directory listings and this includes the 120 clubs listed for North America! You can see the full category list on the right-hand menu on this page.

We began the Geocaching Resource Directory several months ago with the intent of ‘linking the Geocaching community’ and we believe we are well on our way. Thanks to all those that have submitted a listing! If you have a website related to Geocaching, or a favorite Geocaching site that you feel should be added here please let us know!

Keep on cachin’!

 Since you were wondering… the Geocaching Online logo is three ‘links’ linked together. The website tagline is “linking the Geocaching community” so we thought that this would be appropriate. Plus, if you squint your eyes and tilt your head the links sort of look like a ‘G’, a ‘C’ and an ‘O’, for GeoCaching Online!

Keep on cachin’!

Welcome to the grand opening of Geocaching Online!

We’re sitting here in the bright sunshine of a cool spring day enjoying the warmth of both the sun and the feeling of a job well done. Although we still have a long way to go to complete this project it makes us happy to be able to present this new website to you.

Geocaching is fast becoming a world-wide hobby and when we recently got involved we found that there was no central database (except Google, of course!) that catered particularly to Geocaching. As we started to amass links in our browser’s Favorites list we quickly realized that we needed a better solution. Hence, the idea for Geocaching Online was born.
