+4heberts Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 At the end of the new episode of "Dirty Jobs: Rowe'd Trip" last night, Mike Rowe and producer Dave Barsky went geocaching! Barsky is an avid geocacher, having found over 9,000 caches. He talked a little bit about geocaching and they found the cache, a large ammo can. This episode will be repeated on July 18 and 21. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh wow! I'll have to check that out. He was local many years ago, tackling the incredible dirty job at the Museum of Osteology. My stomach feels queasy just remembering. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I enjoyed the episode, and I thought the producer did a good job of explaining the hobby to an incredulous Mike Rowe. Can anyone figure out the producer's geocaching name, or the cache he found, which I think is in Kentucky? I laughed when he found an extra-large ammo can, and there was nothing inside it except for a logsheet. 2 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I didn't know that Mike Rowe has a cache series named after him! Apparently he has many caches named in his honor! Edited July 15, 2020 by Max and 99 1 Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Great detective work, WRASTRO. That log wins the Emmy Award for "most understated performance in a reality show featuring geocaching." Quote Link to comment

+JustFindingOurWay Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I've seen a lot of caches that shrunk over time. This is the first time I've seen a cache listed as a small but actually a large. 1 Quote Link to comment
+WRASTRO Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I can't take credit for the detective work. The folks in the Cachers of Puget Sound FB group had it figured out last night. Quote Link to comment
+4heberts Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Actually a good job of acting for both Mike Rowe and Barsky--when I was researching to find the cache they found, I saw that they participated together in a geocaching podcast last December! Quote Link to comment
+GeoElmo6000 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The Geocache Talk podcast "4th Annual Podcast of Hope" had Mike Rowe and Dave Barsky on back in December. https://geocachetalk.com/all-about-the-4th-annual-podcast-of-hope/ Quote Link to comment

I expected to post a video, but it's probably better to just describe the clip (which was done already), because the scene was kind of underwhelming. 1 Quote Link to comment
