Happy New Year, Brazos Valley Geocachers! The calendar has officially flipped, which means it’s time to start chasing those 2026 goals, earning the first souvenir, and logging a new Day Found for your calendar grid!
🎁 Earn the "Unboxing 2026" Souvenir
Your first official mission of the year is simple: Log any geocache, Event, or Adventure Lab® to secure the Unboxing 2026 souvenir! This is the perfect way to get momentum for your year-long resolution goals.
- What: Log any single find (Cache, Event, or Adventure Lab®).
- When: Any time from January 1st through January 8th, 2026.
Why wait? Get out today! The weather is cool, the parks are relatively quiet, and that first smiley is waiting for you.
🗓️ Grid Check: Start Your 2026 Grind!
If your resolution involves filling the Calendar Grid (a find every day of the year) or the D/T Grid (a cache for every Difficulty/Terrain combination), today is day one!
Today's Mission:
- Log Your First Day: Finding a cache today locks in January 1st for your Calendar Grid!
- Aim for a Unique D/T: Don't just find the easiest one. Today, try to find a cache that helps you fill a rare square on your D/T Grid (like a D4.5/T1.5 or D2.5/T4.0). Search for specific combinations on the official site!
- Try a Different Type: If your last find of 2025 was a Traditional, make your first find of 2026 a Mystery, Multi, or EarthCache to start diversifying your year.
✨ Happy Hunting in 2026!
Whether you hit the trails at 12:01 AM or wait until the afternoon, we hope your first cache of the year brings a big smile.
We can’t wait to see all the success stories from the Brazos Valley Geocachers this year!
