World Famous Geocacher?

If I get mentioned by name on a short wave radio broadcast, does that make me world famous? Go to this page and then click on "Click here" for the latest program. This will get you the program for 9/16/2007. I am mentioned right at the end of the show. Have a listen next week, too since he only talked about the one email I sent him. I sent another one with more details and a couple of geocaching-related photos.

If you are reading this and want to listen but the latest program is not for 9/16, then go to the archives and select the 9/16 show.

This all came about because I found a travel bug that was launched for these radio guys.

Cool Places

There are some really cool places that the hobby of geocaching can lead you to. Here are some pictures from the geocache hunt of 9/1/2007. If you click on a photo, you will see a larger rendering.



This picture is along the South Platte River along the abandoned Colorado and Southern railroad grade. There is a cache supposedly hidden downstream from here but no one has found it in over a year. The owner emailed me today and said he was on his way to check on it. If he tells me that it is still there. I will go back soon.

An offshoot hobby related to geocaching is the hunt for benchmarks like this one:



This one is along the same trail as in the picture above.

The wildflowers are wonderful:



Some enticing berries (we didn't taste).



There are always bugs in the woods:



If you get tired, you can check into a nearby top notch hotel:



Lots of mushrooms to check out:



All of the above pictrures were taken on September 1st, 2007.
