Two more episodes of Chasing Smilies are ready for release, in fact episode 3 is out.  We went live for the first time and it was chaos - fun, but chaos.  We discuss Open Caching, the ideal cache container, GeoCarping and a few other things.

Feedback..

From Heather Cache On Wheels..

Hi there Podcasters Could you join together with me in wishing Chris Dale one of our uk reviewers a speedy recovery please? He has been in hospital for about 2 weeks now and taken to making friends with a Gull and taking selfies with it

Chris set up and does the Follow the Arrow site with a wealth of resources. He does so much for Geocaching, giving of his time freely, just as all our reviewers do.

It's not about what he does in that way, but he is so kind and supportive and I thought it would be great to show our support for him, by thanking him for all he does for others. Now it is time to show we are here for him

I thought a message from you all would be a kind gesture to him. And show our support for his wife Lucilla and his family too.

Seems BananaSource is picking up a new name every week - this week HHH came up with Binary Source.

Nemesis Cache..

We found it.  GC58E0H Smell the Juice by stuarthowe11.  Can it be classed as a nemesis cache if it had gone missing?

Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do..

There are plenty of examples in our 'come caching with us' audio. But one thing that stands out is that we swapped devices during the day and lost track of the caches we went for.  Luckily we had the audio, but we should have kept better track of our finds/DNF's.

If money were no option what would you do with a Doctor Who themed cache?

Travelbug Race..

Our Oh Beep! Where are my other legs? has yet to land in Australia.

The Monkey King’s Southern S@m hasn’t moved – it won’t take much for it to reach its destination though.

Available for pre-order Death Row by Russell Atkinson (the latest instalment in the Cliff Knowles mysteries.

When a court ruling once again halts the carrying out of the death sentences of hundreds of condemned murderers, a frustrated vigilante organization decides to take matters into its own hands. In a mysterious and grisly act of horror, San Quentin's entire population of condemned prisoners is executed in the dark of night. But how? And who are these vigilantes? Answering those questions falls to retired FBI agent Cliff Knowles, now a successful lawyer. His lover, Special Agent Ellen Kennedy, is intent on completing a geocaching challenge known as the Fizzy Challenge, but inadvertently turns Cliff into suspect number one by going for one cache too many. She has no doubt Cliff is innocent, but he's kept a secret from her. He's kept a secret from everyone – and he knows that her faith in him is misplaced. His only chance of keeping Ellen in his life, perhaps even of staying off death row himself, is to get to the critical evidence before the FBI does.

My GPS Made Me Do It — 900 Mile Detour (from GPSTracklog.com)

“I was distracted, so I kept driving,” Moreau told Spanish newspaper El Mundo “I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted. Suddenly I appeared in Zagreb and I realized I wasn’t in Belgium anymore.” According to that article she not only refueled twice during the trip, but got in a minor accident and stopped to sleep in her vehicle.

Geocaching hobby gives more meaning to man's time out of hospital (www.denverpost.com)

He is in it for the long haul, meaning possibly beyond his own mortality.

"I've thought about making my tombstone have a hidden compartment with a GeoCoin cache inside," he said.
