Puzzle Cache..

We've been trying to solve Final Destination (GC54F7G) for a while. We finally made a breakthrough.

Roving Report..

Our first listener roving report comes in from 7 year old Zac, who went Geocaching in London with his Dad.

Dumb things Geocachers do..

BananaSources brush with the seedy use of Forbes Hole Nature Reserve whilst out searching for Whomping Willow (GC3C8ZN)

Couldn't resist including this one from DarrylW4, as he rightfully pokes fun at a BananaSource spelling mistake:

I suspect that the Geocaches do all sorts of dumb things since they don't have brains. How about not running to higher ground as the flood water approach? That's pretty dumb. They've ended up miles downstream. ;-)As for the Geocachers, I'd say underestimating the difficulty, or overestimating their skills. I once went down to retrieve a cache thinking it would be easier than it was to climb back up. It turns out there was a rope in another cache just for us to use to climb back out, but I did it just slipping a little and grabbing the hands from a couple friends up top.

Feedback..

The GCDoc..

Hey Mark!

I was just catching up on your recent podcast episode 30 after getting back from GeoWoodstock XII.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciated your story about how Geocaching positively impacted your life. It was great to hear your personal story, and I'm sure there are tons of people out there that have similar experiences while geocaching.

I know for me personally, geocaching has been a great morale booster when I'm stuck in the struggles and stress of daily life. No matter how down I feel, going geocaching, watching geocaching videos and listening to podcasts like yours always puts a smile on my face!

A big thanks to what you guys do, and keep it up

Justin aka TheGCDoc

Yorkshire Yellow..

Dear DrD,

Lets not argue.

Shall we call a truce?

Let's be friends.

Love,

Yorkshire Yellow

Ask Doctor D..

TWU (Mr Yuck) - "I recently went through the official process and adopted my first cache. Since I am now the owner, should I go back and delete my find on it from 5 years ago?"
