Geocache Adventures Podcast

So many geocachers are passionate about the game of geocaching and that passion can manifest in many different ways.  Many host events and create hides while many others enjoy documenting their travels and adventures in blog or vlog form.  Once such geocacher, who you may be familiar with, is Halemeister from the Geocaching with Halemeister YouTube Channel.  In this episode, I'm joi...

If you listen to this podcast then you know what geocaching is and most of us have probably heard of search and rescue teams before either from the news or TV or movies.  But how do the two go together and how do you train dogs to do it?  In this episode, I'm joined by returning guest Kitten Davis, to talk about her background in search in rescue and how she uses it, not only for navigat...

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...

Maybe you've heard the term pocket queries thrown around but don't really know what they are.  Maybe you know they are a great way to create offline list but aren't sure how to do it.  If so, you're in the same category as me.  Maybe you absolutely love them and use them all the time.  If so, then you're in good company with returning guest Rich Cunningham.  You may rememb...

There are many urban caches in the world but there are many out in the wilderness as well.  For the most part, the woods are fairly safe.  Especially if you're in an area you know or a national park or conservation area.  But there can still be some hazards lurking about.  In this episode I am joined by Dan who is a Media Specialist with the Missouri Department of Conservation...

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".  Spaning across three small towns in Illinois, who are know for hosting some world records for largest things, such as the world's largest rocking chair and world's largest gavel (just to name a couple), the theme fit very well.  What an amazing time we had...

In the world of parenting, where is no manual, and you're never entirely sure if you're doing it right, its so reassuring to hear other parents deal with the same things.  The same thing is true when it comes to geocaching with kids.  Join me as I talk with three other geocaching moms, Angie, Kelsey, and Lanisa as we discuss the joys and struggles of geocaching with kids and answer from...

On multiple episodes you've heard mentioned and discussed the Route 66 Adventure Lab Series. It is a series of adventure labs spanning across the length of historical Route 66 from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA and highlights locations and history along the route. In this episodes I talk with fellow geocacher Wendy, who is the first person to complete every adventure lab location in the series....

or the third and final part of the Human Trackables Mini Series, I talk with Kitten Davis.  Much like Rich (from part 1) and Amanda (from part 2), Kitten is a human trackable.  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 han...

Much like Rich in part 1 of the series, she too has a trackable tattoo.  However, the story behind it is entirely different.  Join me as I talk to Amanda and discover the story behind her unique trackable tattoo.

When I found out there was a mystery cache in mid Missouri that was published 10 years ago without anyone finding it, I was mind boggled. But how do you talk a mystery cache without giving away any hints? Turns out it's kind of hard. That didn't stop me and my guest, Unitzoid, from having a good time talking about geocaching. Join us for some talk about an unfound mystery cache and several tangent...

We all writing find logs when we find a geocache or log a trackable. But what makes a good log? What do you include in your logs? How much should you write? Do you add pictures? There's not a wrong way to write a log and there's no set rules for what they should include but there are certain things that make a log stand out from others. Join me as I dive into what it takes to write a good log and...

Adventure labs or lab caches are a geocache type that allows for a different type of aspect to the geocaching game and are growing in popularity. But are you really getting the most out of your adventure lab finds? Join me and returning guest Scott Miller, aka GSMx2, as Scott shares with us some of the tips and tricks he has learned for both finding and creating adventure lab. Show Notes Please fe...

Geoff, aka theBruce0 from Cache the Line, loves them. Join me and Geoff as we discuss the ins and out of challenge caches. We take a look at the rules for them, and get a few tips from Geoff himself for finding and...

You may recall me mentioning the Whereisitnow! podcast a few times. Or maybe you've seen a few post on the Facebook page and group with links to certain episodes. It's a geocaching podcast that I personally enjoy and finally the stars have aligned (or rather our schedules have) to have host and geocacher, Mike a.k.a Whereisitnow! on as a guest to talk about his podcast. It's always fun talking to...

Three geocachers have band together and created an entirely handicap accessible geo-art. What was their inspiration behind it? Friendship. It's a touching story of three friends who created the series for a friend who became wheelchair bound after a stroke. But this isn't their first geo-art. Join me as I talk with Ray Joe and John about the Handi-cache series, other geo-art, GPS's, the ET highway...
