Team PodCacher

Hey all! Take a look at this post: http://tinyurl.com/c3uaw regarding an event coming up here in San Diego If you're interested and would like to participate (it WILL be fun!) write me at: podcacher@gmail.com I'll get you hooked up and you could win a moun10bike geocoin! Also a great chance to teach Teachers all about geocaching! Lemme know ... Sonny

Okay So Cal Cachers!!! The time is near! This is a GREAT chance to have some fun and teach other (teachers!) about geocaching. How cool is that? (way cool) We NEED geocacher volunteers to man a booth for a couple hours at the conference. You'll get to tell people (teachers) about geocaching, help check out loaner GPSs for them to use to find local caches. Here's the conference (in San Diego): http://center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2006/ Here's some INFO on what we want to do as cachers: http://necccaching.wikispaces.com/ Here's an event cache made for this event where you could win a moun10bike geocoin! http://tinyurl.com/jpre9 Here's a link to my profile if you'd like to write me for more info: http://tinyurl.com/bofa5 or write us at: podcacher@gmail.com I'm hoping to show teachers from all over the states how Southern California cachers pull together for an event!

There are great!!! Any more? (We're building a show on this funny stuff)

Based off the Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck ..." You know you cache too much when ... Fill in the blank with your signs of addiction:

We just put out an audio show about geocoins. http://www.podcacher.com/?p=189 Also listen to: http://www.podcacher.com/?p=164

We are going to try an MTRP cache run. We haven't done any caches in this area yet. Does anyone have suggestions on where to park / start? Any tips on strategies? Thanks!

Just sent you an email. Thanks for helping out!

I will be speaking at a conference this weekend in Palm Springs about Geocaching In Education. Garmin has loaned me 20, brand new, eTrex (yellows) for participants to use. My session will teach (teachers) them how to geocache, use the GPS and discuss educational implication. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to hang on to these 20 units to use at NECC as well. I'll find out what San Diego cachers are available to help support this effort. For the NECC conference in July we'll need: Creative minds to design caching "events" (courses etc.) Volunteers to help at a booth to "evangelize" geocching. Etc. I've been in contact with GEM and there are already some GREAT ideas for hides, games, contests, prizes, etc.

I will be speaking at a conference in Palm Springs this week on Geocaching in Education. http://www.cue.org There will be thousands of teachers who attend this conference. Everyone attending my session will be newbies (actually neverbies). My session will be on Sat the 18th. The conference starts on Thurs the 16th and ends mid day on Sat the 18th. My question(s): How can I get in contact with any Palm Springs cachers? Maybe we can scheme (meet sometime on Thurs or Fri) to plan something for Saturday? Maybe when the conference "ends" on Saturday we could plan for an after conference informal cache hunt? How can I find out about cool local (PS) caches? I'm hoping to bring new (teacher) into our ranks and de-muggle them! Any help would be appreciated.

Thought I'd post this pic from the Temecula Valley Geocaching Event II (GCRJC3) more to come on our next show ... Looks like Dave's been busy ... Sonny (iTrax) http://www.podcacher.com

I think you are talking about CCCooperAgency? We interviewed her on Show #38 of our podcasts (all about geocaching). http://www.podcacher.com

There are several podcaches on this page. If you need any help with the creation of the audio or want to chat about ideas on creating one, drop us a line at: podcacher@gmail.com

Hey, just saw this topic about podcaches. For some ideas from podcaches we (and others) have created, go here. We also put out a weekly audio show all about geocaching at www.podcacher.com. Listen to a few of our shows - we'd love any feedback. If anyone creates a new podcache, we'd love to hear about it. If you need any help or tips on creating the audio, drop us an email at podcacher@gmail.com Sonny & Sandy aka iTrax and FoxTail

FYI: A major Educational Technology Conference will be here in San Diego (they host it each year in a different state) in July. The conference is called NECC (http://tinyurl.com/7er43). Check out this post in another thread regarding the tie in to geocaching: http://tinyurl.com/c3uaw Sonny

I will be speaking at NECC. I'm slotted to to a 3 hour session. I'll be introducing educators to geocaching, and discussing the implications in education and the classroom. I will then be taking them on a "hands on" walking field trip to experience chasing down a cache (conference specific). I'll be creating a simple cache, a mutli cache, maybe a puzzle cache. FYI: I will also be speaking on geocaching at a local conference this March in Palm Springs. CUE (www.cue.org). We have already inked a deal with Garmin to provide loaner GPS (yellow) for the teachers to use. Sonny (iTrax)

Haiku's By the Geocaching Poet: Theodocious (Best when read live accompanied by a Koto or a Shakuhachi) Frustration Traffic on the road My GPS is confused I’m second to find Decisions I cannot find it I’ve been searching for a while Should I stay or go? Puzzling A wet soggy cache The logbook is made of mush How do I sign this? Addiction One more cache, just one I really should go home now After one more cache No Juice I have dead battries I know I was close, so close Maybe over there Whatever it takes Three in the morning No one else is around here I am first to find To hear these poems read live, listen to show #35 of the podcacher podcast. http://www.podcacher.com/?p=159 www.podcacher.com

Yes, Thanks Bret for helping to explain the sometimes confusing terminology! A Podcast is a "radio-like" show made available on the internet for people to download or subscribe to. Our Podcast is called "PodCacher" and is all about geocaching. You can listen to it right at your computer - or you can download it to any MP3 player and take it with you to listen anywhere! As Bret said, a "Podcache" is a special type of cache - that usually doesn't require a GPS, just an MP3 player to listen to the audio file that contains the clues. We have placed 2 in the San Diego area GCPNWV and GCPW54 There are 2 others that we know of so far. GCREDR and GCQ4E1 We have also placed podcaches (not listed on geocaching.com) in Santa Barbara and Monterey - see our website under the Podcaches category. We'd love for more people to join in the fun and create more podcaches in their area! Sonny & Sandy www.podcacher.com

Just got back from the geocoin, greet, meet and swap event at Oggi's (GCRYZ9). We had a great time. Thanks for hosting!

It was a pleasure an honor to have been able to attend the wake for BikeDog today. Bikedog you will be missed!!!

Thanks for the update HW. We'll stay tuned for more info on the wake.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up on the event! We'll be there!!!

We are so sorry to hear this. It's always difficult when one of our own goes down. He and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers. iTrax and FoxTail
