America's Largest Geocaching Event! (Morgantown, WV)

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when 5,000+ geocachers descend upon Morgantown, West Virginia? Pure magic, unexpected friendships, and countless stories worth telling.Join us as we pull back the curtain on our Geo Woodstock 21 adventure – from the spectacular highs of performing our live podcast to a standing-room-only crowd to the technical woes that left our recording unusable (again). Before reaching Morgantown, Josh took a soul-stirring detour to Pittsburgh's Mr. Rogers statue where the beloved icon's voice still echoes beneath an arch overlooking the river – a moment he describes as "almost spiritual."Our Morgantown home base proved to be a geocacher's dream: a three-story Airbnb complete with hot tub (which Craig claimed immediately and repeatedly), arcade games, and ample space for late-night geocaching tales. We traversed the region collecting stamps for the Country Roads Challenge, discovered surprisingly exceptional margarita flights at Mountain State Brewing Company, and Josh fulfilled his destiny by donning full Barney Fife regalia at the Don Knotts statue downtown.The main event showcased geocaching at its finest – vendor halls brimming with gadget caches and trackables, a massive GPS maze chronicling the hobby's history, and the electric energy of thousands sharing their passion under one roof. The weekend crescendoed with Midnight Madness at West Virginia University, where our team of content creators squared off against Geocaching HQ staff in Family Feud, claiming victory despite Craig's memorable "nano" blunder that earned thunderous boos from the crowd.Whether you're planning for next year's Geo Woodstock in Hutchinson (near the world's oldest active geocache!), or simply love hearing tales of travel and community, this episode captures why these gatherings represent the heart and soul of geocaching.Have you experienced a Geo Woodstock yet?
