What is the TXGA Texas Challenge & Geocaching Festival?

The TXGA Texas Challenge & Geocaching Festival (known simply as ‘Challenge’) s an annual week of events hosted by the Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA). Each year, the responsibilities of hosting the event rotates through the six regional teams, to organize the majority of the weekend. If you have ever wanted an excuse to escape for a weekend, and get out and geocache a new place with a bunch of other geocachers from across the state, this is it.

Challenge weekend is centered around an exciting contest that pits geocachers from across the state in a friendly competition to determine which region of the state can accumulate the most points during a 4-hour time crunch. The winning regional team takes home the coveted Golden Ammo Can.

The week is non-stop geocaching goodness gobbed greatly with games and goodies. Trackable trading is a major activity, as well as trail story swapping and vendor SWAG buying. You will never get an opportunity in Texas to geocache with so many other geocachers at once.
