S3E22: The Super Good Camping Podcast Goes Geocaching
What do you get when you cross a camping podcast with a geocaching podcast? You get the camping podcast talking into going geocaching. At least that's what happened here. I had the pleasure of doing a sort of crossover with the Super Good Camping Podcast. They allowed me to come onto their podcast to talk about geocaching and then were super good sports about combining geocaching with one of their camping trips and then talking about it on Geocache Adventures. Join me as I talk with Tim, Pam, an...

S3E20: Wherigo Geocaches explained
A wherigo is a unique type of geocache. They have a physical container like a traditional cache and immerse you in unique experience a bit like an adventure lab. They are truly one or a kind.

In this episode, I talk with fellow geocacher, Steve Miller, about wherigo geocaches. We take a look about how to create them, how to play ...

S3E17: Geocache Maintenance - What you Need to Know
If you're going to talk about hiding geocaches then you should really talk about maintaining them as well right? So it only made sense to me to do the two back to back. Maintaining a cache may seem like common sense to some but not to all and there are so many caches out there that aren't maintained well or at all. And so many cachers wanting to help a CO and doing maintenance on caches they find. It seemed like to good idea take a look at the topic and shed some light on the subject for newer c...

S3E10: (Mostly) Live at MOGA 2022
I hit the road (with family in tow) and head to Clark County, IL to attend MOGA 2022. The theme was "Big Things Small Towns".

Unlike Rich and Amanda, Kitten's trackable is more elusive and can't be seen by the human eye. In fact, it takes a special ToTT (tool of the trade) to discover it. But don't worry, she keeps one on hand so if you meet her you can just use hers. Join me as I talk with Kitten to learn more about her unique trackable and her s...
