What is The World Geo-Gathering?
The World Geo-Gathering will an annual get-together for geocachers from all over the world. Many activities are planned for The World Geo-Gathering to included meeting people, prize giveaways, geocoin sales and trading, travel bug swaps, and of course, caching like crazy. There will be over 100 on-site event only caches planted on the 720 acre facility (The D-Day Adventure Park) in Wyandotte, Oklahoma along with the many caches within 25 miles from the event.

In addition, we'll have lots of geocaching related things to do. We're still working out details, but some of the ideas being thrown around are Geocacher Bingo, an ammo can packing contest, and ...

For young and old, we're looking at many classes and seminars, a treasure hunt, live music and much, much more.

There will also be dozens of geoswag and geocoin vendors showing off and selling their wares in our vending area.

Towards the end of each day, you'll have the opportunity to gather with your friends and sit down for an enjoyable the many meet-and-greets planned.

The main attraction at The World Geo-Gathering is on Saturday. On the days leading up to it, there will likely be smaller "Meet & Greet" events for those that arrive at the event early. On Sunday we are planning to host the largest Cache-In Trash-Out.
