    Geocache Haiku

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    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

    Podcaches And Podcasting

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    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!

    Here is a brief update. There is a bikedog wake planned for Saturday January 21st at 1pm in Elfin Forest (close to Escondido and San Marcos). Directions will follow later this week.

     

    A memorial trust account is being set up at a local financial institution where donations will be accepted for his 13 year old daughter's benefit.  Again details will follow once it is set up.

     

    His wife, Nancy, has been blown away by your collective outpouring of prayers and well wishes.

     

    Thanks to Rocket Man for placing the "Its All Good" Bikedog Memorial Cache in Colorado today.

     

    Thanks to Caching Widow for creating the Bikedog memorial coin, it looks great.

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

    Bikedog down.

     

    I am extremely sad to report that Bikedog was critically injured in a motorcycle accident today and will not live through the night. For all of you who had the opportunity to know him, then your life is better for it. I personally had the chance to share many a weekend adventure with him and I will always remember him for the fun we had and the challenges we overcame.

     

    I will repost once the details of a memorial service are assembled.

    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.

    Great. Can you stop spamming the forums about it though?

    Jeremy,

     

    Are you requesting that I stop letting people know about our podcast about geocaching?

     

    I'd be happy to cease if that is what you are asking.

     

    I just needed clarification. (wasn't sure if you were writing to me, or the cacher right before your post)

     

    Many Thanks!

    Question: Are any of you locals planning on going to this event?

     

    http://www.socalgeocachers.com/modules.php?name=geofest

    A few of us have gone to those. (Not me.) It says Southern California, and I know we San Diegans are more than welcome, but I can tell you that it's going to be primarily an LA/Orange/Ventura/Riverside group up there. It's not very likely that any San Diego geocaches are going to win in a vote for example (not unless we all go en mass.) I invited folks from up north to do Snakes and Ladders for instance, but only one or two came to try.

     

    Parsa

    I vote for en masse then ...

    Well, whaddaya know? I always have my camera handy when I 'cache. A few weeks ago, I started a little blog, so I could share the experience with my friends and family. Then this happens. :P

    Very cool blog! I like it. The pics are great. Thanks for sharing ...

    I don't understand. What's going on with the tb? And what would the "takers" be doing?

    From what I understand:

     

    1) jncrow is going to send a travel bug form Idaho with instructions to get to San Diego.

    2) He would like someone in San Diego to pick it up from a cache once it get's here.

    3) He would like someone in San Diego to create a puzzle cache and place the TB in the NEW puzzle cache.

    4) Sandy and I (iTrax / Sonny) are supposed to watch this all happen, then hunt down the cache when it posts. We are supposed to record our "adventure" finding this new puzzle cache and turn it into another podcast show.

    OK, well if you want a volunteer, I'll do it. If the TB actually makes it to San Diego, I'll go and pick it up and then make a new (puzzle?) cache to put it in. I just think it's a very long shot, since the whole premise relies on this bug moving in an orderly/timely fashion in the direction the owner intends!

    Woohoo! Thanks!

     

    I agree with your thought though that it's a long shot and that it relies on the bug moving in an orderly / timely fashion. Not very reliable. I've had TBs "lost in space" for months.

     

    We'll see how this one goes.
