EarthCache™
Let the Earth be Your Teacher
The very first EarthCache ("EarthCache I" [GCHFT2]) was
placed by user "geoaware" on 10 Jan. 2004 on a headland in New South Wales, Australia. Since then, more
than 6.3 million people have logged visits to EarthCache sites, and the number is growing exponentially. GSA
is very proud to be part of the exciting geocaching community and hope we can continue to add value and
wonderful Earth science experiences through the EarthCache program.
