What is GoGeocaching.com all about?
Welcome to GoGeocaching.com where we're all about going
geocaching with a focus on events and promoting geocaching with land
managers. Join us on Facebook to chat with fellow geocachers and be
sure to visit our event calendar. The event calendar  is updated each
weekend so you can plan which events you want to attend.

Events are a great opportunity to get to know other geocachers. The
Calendar includes all events within 175 miles of the heart of
GoGeocaching.com (Chicago IL). Updated 01/23/2012.
Geocaching is a treasure hunt game using a GPS to seek out places and things other
geocachers want you to find. Geocaching can be any number of things to each individual; to
some it's going on long hikes in forest preserves, for others it's all about the hunt and finding
well hidden micro cache, maybe to you it's traveling around the country or even the world to
new unusual places you'd never have found on your own. Geocaching can be done as a solo
adventure, with your family and friends and it make new friends. You can combine;
photography, hiking, biking, canoing, exploring, and even solving puzzles and riddles.

Train Fan Clubs & Geocaching
Cheeseburgers in Paradise is an annual event
which gives geocachers as a community the
opportunity to help our neighbors who are less
fortunate while having a good time. At the event
in 2011 we collected $90 plus 301 pounds of
non-parishable food for those in need.

Geocaching Statistics - Who's found the most?
On May 3, 2000, a five-gallon bucket was placed in Oregon by Dave Ulmer. He
challenged others to find the stash and soon after the coordinates were  listed on the
internet and modern-day geocaching was born. Soon geocaches were popping up
around the United States and soon after that geocachers started looking at statistics.

Some geocachers like to know how many caches they've found, how many other
cachers have found and from that came various web sites which track such statistics.
If you're interested in where you stand in your state or who has found the most caches
in the world check out Cacher Stats.
