Join us this week for a discussion about the necessity of paper logs in Geocaches Last Week... Check out the Opencaching.us blog for our interview only show with The GCDoc Whats your nemesis cache?

Scott Berks and DarrylW4 from geocachingpodcast.com geogearheads.com chicagogeocacher.com Feedback... DarrylW4 "Offensiving" needs to be added the the Geocaching Lexicon. BTW – you'd funny like that milk that's been in the fridge for the last 6 months. ;-) Lucie Melen  Just listened... so here is some listener feedback!  I find "another find for me" even more annoying and insulting than TFTC, because that's the automatic text on the app. They couldn't even be bothered to type anything! From Yorkshire Yellow Just to say I enjoyed this segment in your last podcast. The honesty with which you spoke was touching, and I found myself with a tear in my eye at one or two points. Although I don't suffer from depression, I do think I get a little 'down' sometimes myself, particularity in the grey winter months.  Also, most of my role at work is in essentially what is a sales environment (letting and sale of commercial property), which, if it's not going well, gets me down. I've found that quick lunchtime cache, in the green areas in the town where I work, or, If I can manage it, on the edges of the Cotswold Hills, lifts my mood/spirits no end. I also totally agreed/empathised with you on the 'simple pleasures' side of what you were saying - children splashing in puddles, seeing nature, etc. I've been on an enforced 4 day working week since the start of the recession, so have been lucky enough to have one weekday a week to spend with my nearly 7yo geokid and now her nearly 3yo sister. The times we spend together on these days, often on a short caching circuit (on which she invariably ends up riding most of it on my shoulders!) are incredibly enjoyable, and I've some precious memories from these times. Keep up the good work on the podcast.  I'm enjoying them! John (Yorkshire Yellow) Ask Doctor D... From Yorkshire Yellow Dear Dr Duck, When me or the geokids swap swag in caches, we also replace what we take with something we think is of equivalent or greater value. However, so often we see caches with, to be honest, are a load of crap in them - broken old fast food toys, soggy paper items, things which have got wet and gone rusty - you probably know what I'm talking about. My question for you - has the concept of swag in caches had its day? Thanks Dr Duck! Yorkshire Yellow PS - My thoughts on this: We will always tidy up a cache, so that the the 'finding experience' is a better one for the next cacher.  We will will often add more swag than we swap out.  If my (young) geokids are coming caching with me, then I will often try to pick a newer series of caches, where the swag is still there and hasn't had time to 'degrade', which unfortunately seems to be the way of things nowadays.

Are paper log sheets still necessary? Why they aren't necessary: Technology has moved on, we can now log at GZ online or take a photo as proof and post that to the cache page A lot of the time logs are turned to mush, so signing is a little pointless/impossible Cache maintenance would be made much simpler without logs Most of the appeal of Geocaching is the find, signing the log is secondary As a cache owner I'm more interested in the online logs and photos. How many cache owners actually cross check the paper log with the online log to make sure those who claim to have found the cache actually did? An alternative method can be used to prove you found the cache - such as a code in the container, as seen in the LAB caches at the 2014 Kent Mega Why they are necessary: Signing the log is in the rules! On the bigger caches and special locations its nice to see what people have to say in the log book There is something a little exciting about seeing a familiar name on a log book, or even seeing that someone is out there caching the same time you are They're essential for some Geocache types; for example Letterbox Hybrids   If you have feedback, please send it to feedback@ohbeep.com or leave a comment at www.ohbeep.com

Our task to find the canister with the code. The previous finders did a good job of re-hiding, so it was still a challenge.   The LAB Cache - a mad scientist had set up his lab in the middle of the wood.  I hope GeoPaul filmed this one, I can't remember where on the table the code was hidden?   One Cache Too Many - a cacher had set up camp in the wood and had left the next code hidden in his socks.   Picnic Cache - a nice picnic scene in the woods.  From memory the cache was hidden in the picnic basket.   Treasure Cache - it seems pirates had left their swag, buried in these woods.   Pool Cache - a ball pool in the woods.  Now, this should have been a real challenge, but GeoPaul found the right ball before we'd even started looking.   Crash and Dash - the most impressive of them all.  A plane, crash landed, in the woods.  Its pilot stuck in a nearby tree.  The code we needed printed on his boot sole.   Race for FTF - two high end sports cars, crashed in to a tree.  The code we needed, hidden under the bonnet of one of the cars.   Its in the cache title - again, another that should have been a real stumper (remember we'd not got the clues).  Somehow I managed to pick up the VHS box with the code in it, first time of trying.   Other than the frustration of not being able to get a data connection and partly due to our lack of planning ahead, this was a great series of caches.  Even the number of people looking at the same time didn't spoil the fun - it was a little like waiting your turn at crazy golf.
