Geocache Talk - Geocaching Network

Some friendships become part of every adventure. Join the Geocache Talk Network on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 8pm Central as we remember and celebrate Tim Green, known throughout the geocaching community as Merlin1392, who passed away on September 6. The GTN team will be joined by Joshua the Geocaching Vlogger, Neil Moore, Jason Hale, and other friends for an evening of heartfelt memories, favorite stories, and appreciation for the life Tim shared with us. As our friend and Challenge Talk co-host, Tim helped remind us that geocaching’s greatest treasures are the experiences we share and the people we meet along the way. Together, we’ll honor his love of adventure and the friendships that continue to connect us. Whether you knew Tim personally, enjoyed watching him on Challenge Talk, or shared a trail with him, we invite you to join us. Bring your memories and share a favorite story in the live chat as we celebrate someone who meant so much to our community. Forever our friend. Challenge Complete!

The Lost Caches Project — The Hunt Begins! An archived listing. A forgotten trail. A weathered ammo can waiting beneath years of leaves. What remains when a geocache disappears from the map? Join Geocache Talk Network this Sunday at 7pm Central as we venture into geocaching’s forgotten history! We’re discussing The Lost Caches Project: tracking down the oldest archived caches in your area and documenting what remains. From abandoned containers in the woods to the missing Project A.P.E. caches around the world, every location holds a story. Who placed it? What adventures happened there? And could a piece of that history still be hiding in plain sight? Grab your flashlight, dust off those old coordinates, and bring your curiosity! We’ll talk about researching vanished caches, respecting property boundaries and access rules, and preserving the stories behind these lost treasures. Have you rediscovered an archived cache—or have one you’ve always wanted to investigate? Bring your stories and questions to the live chat!   #geocaching #geocache #GeocacheTalk #archived
