Was sind Safari Caches?

[Ich_bin_es_nur]

Ich bin Berliner, bin mit einigen meiner Caches sogar weltweit zu finden (da man Safari-Caches
ja von überall loggen kann, wenn man die entsprechende Aufgabe erfüllt hat)

Kannst du mal einen deiner Safari-Caches hier nennen oder mir per PN schicken. Ich kann mit dem Begriff so gar nichts anfangen.

OK, hier die Definition von Safari-Caches (mit Beispielen):

Ist das nicht die OC-Bezeichnung für Locationless (weil der Begriff geschützt ist oder so)?

Safari Caches sind "reverse locationless caches".
Was an locationless (also ortsungebunden) geschützt sein soll entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis.
WIr haben deshalb Safari als Namen gewählt, weil das Ganze ja an eine Fotosafari erinnert,
wo man Jagd auf Motive macht.

LOL was ist denn "reverse locationless"? Die locationless Caches wurden ja schon z.T. als "reverse Cache" bezeichnet, ein "reverse locationless" ist dann ein ganz normaler Cache oder wie?

Locationless (reverse) cache

Similar to a scavenger hunt. A description is given for something to find, such as a one-room schoolhouse, and the finder locates an example of this object. The finder records the location using their GPS receiver and often takes a picture at the location showing the named object with their GPS receiver. Typically others are not allowed to log that same location as a find.[34]
Since 2005, all locationless caches have be archived and locked, meaning they are unable to be logged. However, with geocaching's 20th anniversary in 2020 Groundspeak decided to publish a special locationless cache for geocachers to "find" at various Mega and Giga events around the world. The first locationless geocache in 15 years (GC8FR0G) required finders to take a picture of themselves with the geocaching mascot, Signal the Frog, at Mega and Giga Events during 2020. The cache was made available to log starting 1 January 2020. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all planned Mega and Giga events were canceled for the year, including the planned 20th anniversary celebration event in Seattle, Washington. Therefore, Groundspeak decided to extend the deadline to log this geocache through 1 January 2023. With 22,500 finds it is the second most logged geocache in history.

The second published locationless cache since 2005 (GC8NEAT) required visitors to take a photo of them picking up trash and cleaning up their local area. Geocachers were able to log this cache from 6 February 2021 through 31 December 2022. It has been logged over 33,500 times and holds the title for the most "found" geocache. On 17 August 2022, Geocaching made available the 3rd locationless cache to be logged since 2005 (GC9FAVE). Instead of finding Signal or picking up trash, this cache encouraged geocachers from around the world to share their favorite geocaching story. This geocache will be archived and locked on 1 January 2024.
