+Path Pacer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I recently went to visit a friend in England and thought I'd get a geocache or two while I was there. This was in August. Imagine my surprise when I went to log my first find and got an "Explorer" souvenir. I had no idea where it came from or how to find the other six events I was supposed to complete to get the Achiever souvenir. This was all news to me. How can I find out about these things beforehand? I've looked all over this site and there's nothing that announces souvenir challenges. Quote Link to comment

+narcissa Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Also, the huge banner across the top of the website for the entirety of August was a bit of a tip-off. Quote Link to comment
+ILuvAZ Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I am a Premium member. Is there a special alert you can set - much like alerts for new caches in the area when a souvenir day is approaching? Quote Link to comment

Yes, it's called the Geocaching Newsletter, which is emailed out every week and announces special details like upcoming souvenirs. Quote Link to comment
