Every year there are many mage geocaching events held all over the world. GeoWoodstock was the very first mega geocaching event ever to be held. It has a long history and many stories behind it.

In this episode, I talk with Brad Simmons, spokesman for the board of GeoWoodstock and former event host, to learn about the history behind this mega event and what it’s all about.
