We’ve just discovered a trackable that’s out of this world with our much-loved hobby of Geocaching. In fact, it’s on the Mars Perseverance Rover. I don’t know why but it felt rather special discovering this trackable and we didn’t need to fly out and get it, it wasn’t exactly handed out on a plate either.
What is a trackable?
Trackables are physical game pieces that move from geocache to geocache. Types of trackables include: geocoins, tags, t-shirts, and more!
We have a few that are travelling around the world, our best one is TB8BRQF which has travelled over 13918 miles!
How do I discover the Mars Perserverance Rover trackable?
Geocaching.com has handed everything we need on a plate but we have to still discover it ourselves. The trackable code is physically on the Mars Perseverance Rover and you have to use images on the Nasa Raw Images page to find it. Don’t worry, there may be over 600 images right now but there are clues on how to find the code and it didn’t take us too long.
Check out the trackable page with full instructions on how to discover it at TB5EFXK.
Once you have discovered it your Geocaching account will unlock a new souvenir. Souvenirs are virtual pieces of art that can be collected and displayed on your profile. They’re generally awarded for caching in a particular location, on a particular date, or during one of Geocaching HQ’s souvenir challenges like Goodbye 2019 Hello 2020.
Happy Caching
