From Shortyknits...
Hey Team D!
The only reason I look forward to Mondays is that there's usually a new Oh Beep to listen to on my commute to work. When I heard this week's introduction, I literally said out loud, "What the hell was that?!?" and played it back a couple times, laughing, before I got to Mark explaining that it was Sam's attempt at an American accent. Sam, is that really what you think we sound like?? Then hearing your attempts at Canadian and Australian accents made me laugh even more. There's something else you have in common with Scott Berks - all of your accents sound exactly the same. Every accent he attempts ends up sounding Indian. Yours ... well I'm not quite sure what yours are. Thanks for trying for me anyway.
I love the show. Keep on doing what you're doing, even if you are offensiving people. Or entire countries.

PS - Huge congratulations on your 500th find!!!
From Dave Self..
Haskell Free Library and Opera House straddles the US/Canada border in Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec. http://haskellopera.com/history/
"...though your visit will be casually monitored by both U.S. and Canadian authorities who keep count so that the people going in from one country exit to the country from which they entered (and who have caught not a few number of people who try to use the Haskell for nefarious schemes of illegal alien passage or illegal arms smuggling), no passport is required..."
So, seems you can't travel from one country to the other via the "house". Even if someone lived there, they'd need to have a passport. Within the building, you can, technically cross the border back and forth.

Hi Mark
Thanks for getting in touch, and for mentioning our geocaching weekend which is the start of 10 weeks of coin releases.
We’re very keen to encourage people to discover the National Trails, and geocaching is a perfect way to get new people on to them. Some of the 15 Trails already have geocache trails, some put in place by the trail teams, others by the public. In time we’d like to have trails on all of the National Trails, the ones without them at the moment are :
Cleveland Way http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/cleveland-way/geocaching
Glyndwr’s Way http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/glyndwrs-way/geocaching
North Downs Way http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/north-downs-way/geocaching
Pennine Bridleway http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-bridleway/geocaching
South Downs Way http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/south-downs-way/geocaching
South West Coast Path, although as its 630 miles long I suspect there may be some we don’t know about ! http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/south-west-coast-path/geocaching
Pembrokeshire Coast Path - don’t have any geocaching trails. The trail has dangerous parts but the Trail Officer is happy to advice anyone thinking of setting a trail as to places that are suitable - Davemac@pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk
Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path are planning a geocaching trail and are looking for geocaching volunteers to help them - any one interested can contact them directly at nationaltrail@norfolk.gov.uk
If anyone is interested in setting a trail they can either get in touch with the trail manager directly via the contact details on the website, or with me and I’ll pass them on.
If anyone knows of geocaching trails on the National Trails listed above that I haven’t found if they send me a link I’ll add them to the website. Every trail has its own geocaching page, we’re happy to promote any relevant info on that page and through our social media.
Cheers
Anne

Seems we have a new one.
Mooonie 1 - Faith No More - A cache by Mooonwitch GC53721.
Three attempts. We've done the rest in the series. But this one seems to be hiding in a sneaky place.

Discussion..
What Geocaching is to me...
Tupperware, satellites, walking, forgotten pens, puzzles, nettles, bug spray, adventure, events, time with the kids, days out, FTF's, DNF's, stats, numbers, PAF, stories of the one that got away, creativity
What Geocaching isn't to me...
Arguing on the internet, politics, sniping at each other.
Collin French
The more I think about this, the longer the answers get: 1.#Geocaching is exploration, finding new places, finding OLD places. Geocaching is community, like-minded (weird) friends. Geocaching is the thrill of knowing something that others don't (there's a cache there!). Geocaching is a great escape from the pressure and rigours of daily life. 2. Geocaching is not a sport. It is not (to me) a commercial enterprise. Others will disagree with that, especially where Groundspeak is concerned. It is not worth risking mental or physical health over.
