Imagine if there was an extra day in the year for geocaching. Well, this year there is! Start planning your outings to get your Leap Day 2024 digital souvenir by finding a cache, Adventure Lab*, or attending an event on Friday, February 29th.
Pretty sure you’ll find quite a few geocaches near an Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member Inn and if you’re really lucky the innkeepers will be avid cachers and share their local favorites.

“Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment. Geocaching.com is the headquarters for the activity”
