Blogs?


Recommended Posts

Are there any geocaching blogs out there? I've seen podcasts, but wanted to know of any blogs. I have one (TravelCacher.com), but would like to read what others have to say and share also.

 

Know of any?

 

Here is a link to "Adventures In Geocaching" by The Zen Bassmasters. http://geoadventures.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

It's an old blog but it is about 4 overweight cachers and their experiences. At times it is flippin' hilarious! Sadly these guys got out of geocaching and i haven't heard from them since.

Well, a thread about blogs hasn't been around for awhile, so I searched out this one to add my name to the list of blogging cachers. Well, actually my blog is about a little bit of lots of things, but I just posted a geocaching entry today.

 

Are there any other new (or old!) geocaching bloggers who'd like to 'fess up? I'd especially like to read some blogs from Britian, Europe or Australia/New Zealand cachers as I seem to have alot of great American/Canadian ones on my blog roll already.

Thanks for the updated links. I did try all the links on this thread yesterday and did find that a few didn't work and a few had not been added to for some time.

 

Your Exploring America posts at flentji.com are a great idea!!! Will add your blog to my blogroll, and will take time to read all the historic info at some point.

Thanks for the note. I've got a zillion pictures and just as many ideas. I just can't seem to find the time for daily or weekly posts which was my original goal. Now that winter is setting in it should get easier.

Do we need more blogs not to read?

 

If you want to post your feelings about geocaching, post it when you find (not find) a cache. Don't just post TNLNSL, TFTH.

 

People are more likely to read your found it (or did not find it) posting than a blog.

 

A valid point, and I do write log comments that are generally a paragraph or so long rather than a couple of words.

 

However for me, I wanted to start writing a blog to say the things that I could not really say in a cache log. Such as my thoughts about an overall area, or about how a trip as a whole was, or things that might be considered spoilers if they were on the cache log. Plus it's an opportunity to introduce caching (and my country) to a whole swarm of readers who would never see my cache logs. :)

 

And I enjoy reading such things written by others.

 

Opinions may vary of course. :laughing:

I've been examining the gpx file for "My Finds" PQ and it appears to be a standard delimited text file.

 

I'm thinking of writing a bash script to extract my logs and publish them to blogger whenever I grab a new "My Finds" PQ (so it would be a maximum weekly basis).

 

Has anyone done something like this already or would I be the first?

My husband recently started a geocaching blog; mostly because he likes every high tech method of communication that exists, but also because he is a good writer, not always a common talent among engineers! I also added an article to his blog.

 

We don't update it very often since work and family obligations have taken precedence over geocaching experinces recently. I do think it's great to read about other geocachers' adventures!

 

Our blog is at: http://thegeocachingexperience.blogspot.com/
