Send us a Text Message.Journey with us as we throw down the gauntlet in a whimsical bracket-style battle, pitting America's most bizarre and charming roadside attractions against one another. We've snagged the expertise of Jesse Brown from the Geocaching Podcast to join in on our escapade, adding a touch of treasure-hunting thrill to these wondrous spots. From the Corn Palace's corn murals to the Popeye Character Trail, we're not just passing through – we're peeling back the layers of these cultural icons to gauge their geocaching potential and community impact. Plus, we're dishing out the stories behind their creation, transforming mere stops along the highway into destinations that capture the heart.Forget your typical accommodations; this episode will have you booking a night in a beagle-shaped inn or debating the merits of resting your head inside a giant potato. Our offbeat road trip doesn't end at the quirky sites; it extends to where you tuck in for the night. And with attractions like the World's Largest Ball of Paint going head-to-head with metallic horse sculptures and a fire-breathing dragon, you'll be rooting for your favorites as we inch closer to crowning the roadside royalty.The final showdown is a nail-biter, with the Enchanted Highway stretching its artistic limbs to outdo the spherical splendor of the World's Largest Ball of Paint. In a battle of length versus layers, Jesse's deciding vote catapults one attraction to this year's pinnacle of peculiar fame. Join us as we recount the marvels and memories of these roadside wonders, and hint at the birth of an annual tradition that will keep the spirit of adventure – and perhaps a bit of madness – alive in the travels to come.LINKS GCPC Jessie Website Support the Show.FacebookInstagramTwitterYoutube

GC3BYZA # 5 - Winger by cas-tiger Audio from last weeks Geocaching podcast News.. New geocache launched mapping trail of Cambridge graffiti herons (From cambridge-news.co.uk) They've proved a big hit since they started popping up across the city, and now fans of Cambridge's graffiti herons can take advantage of GPS technology to help track them down. The Black Herons of Cambridge is a new geocache with 11 stops, each featuring one of the mysterious artist's creations, which people can use to help visit the artwork across the city.   Suspicious package is a geocache (From lancasteronline.com) On the heels of the threat, a resident found a suspicious item near the Lampeter-Strasburg campus that police investigated late Sunday. The item was determined to be a geocache, West Lampeter Township police Chief Brian Wiczkowski said Monday. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game in which players hide items in a container called a geocache and other people try to find the container using GPS devices and coordinates. Feedback.. From Danno (Team_Pugatch) Another great show, can't believe how dumb muggles from Winthrop, Massachusetts (1 town north of Boston) are and creating bomb scares. We moved to Maine a year ago. I actually had Stephen King and Liv Tyler as customers here! Maine is great the hot summer where it's worth having an air conditioner is just 2-3 weeks in August. You can go from the ocean to hiking trails in under half an hour. There's a reason the state motto is The Way Life Should Be! DannoTeam_Pugatch PSI loved the Danno song. It's a nickname I got while wrenching in a bicycle shop in my late 20s. I joke around and tell people it's because when I was a kid my mom would always say, "Dan No!" And it kinda stuck...

Shortyknits twisted the knife :D GGH Tips… Puzzler26 (a noted hider of clever #geocaches in Metro Detroit) talked in "GGH 171: Puzzler26" about his experience constructing using different material. He began working with wood for its flexibility but has since moved to PVC. He's not done experimenting yet as he's been playing with caches made from composite decking material. It's a continuing process to find what works and what doesn't and he's happy to share his experience. Are you sharing yours? http://cacheamaniacs.com/ggh-171-puzzler26 Ask Dr D..

BananaSource got the Shortyknits voice wrong: From Alex Brydon (@(B my geocaching name) Hello Mark and Sam, This is for the most resent podcast. And I agree with you Mark when you said Sam is not nice to the Americans but is very nice to Canada! I didn't like your 'women' accent, it sounds nothing like a lady! Keep up the good podcasts! thanks for the podcasts, It's you  Scott berks!! A shocking revelation, Doctor D has known Shorty for years - what is the 11 on his shirt for?  Shortyknits thinks its all about being one louder.  There is also the theory that they are knitting needles.  What do you think? We also got this e mail from Shortyknits: Doctor D, It has been a sad week. How could you pretend to not know me after everything? I'm heartbroken.......shortyknits Dumb Things Geocachers Do.. Greetings from Kansas USA! I listen and greatly enjoy your podcast program. Here is a cache find posting I made for a multicache I found while caching with 2 other cachers. GC58R4X The Necropolis At Mount Allen by ottieolsen is the cache. Feel free to use it on your show if you would like to. Here it is, Excellent multi! Good fun, good history. And if you aren't operating at 100% and don't get the decimal point at the right spot you can turn it into a 5 spot multi!!! Oh, did I say 5??? Try 6 if you screw up on the decimal location twice!!! LOL!!! And if you are so multi talented (get the pun???) as I am you can visit 2 locations that neither is correct, yet both are excellent locations for a container!!! (lots more LOL! Either that or cry!) Soooo, after an extra 45 minutes of searching that would have worked for an episode of either CSI or NCIS, we (caching with 2 over cachers) FINALLY got to the correct location for the final!!! Bells rang, horns honked, fans cheered! (In my mind they did anyways! But it may have been from the heat!) We were rewarded with another ottieolsen class, not what we were expecting, cache container! Thanks again for another awesome cache in the Hays area! Cachers are always telling of the wonderful things that they have discovered and learned from Geocaching. I agree! Now I can add double checking info, repeatedly, to that list! Cache on! Podcast on! Redbeard4570 Nemesis Geocache.. D D & B S,I really enjoy the banter between you two.As of this month, August, my nemisis cache(s) are Mystery/Puzzle Caches and Multi-Caches. It seems that ever since the 7SofA, I can't find the final or the next stage to get the souvenir. As of this email, I have less than two weeks to get these last two cache types. To top it off, I've found all the Mystery and Multi's in my town and neighboring town, so I have to travel 15-30 miles one way just to fail. I don't know if I'll get all seven souvenirs.Doctor D,I wouldn't worry about Scott Berks and a "plane ticket", I've heard that he won't drive into downtown Chicago to go geocaching. So you're probably safe...but then again, you are talking messin' with his girl. :-0Listening from NW Indiana and loving the show.Keep up the good work,IN_Darel Ask Doctor D.. Tony Liddell what's the ultimate achievement in caching, eg most finds, most 5/5s, covering most counties etc Travelbug Race.. Oh Beep! Where are my other legs? is still in Wales and hasn't moved. The Monkey King's Southern S@m is still in Bayern, Germany. GeoPaul's Video of the Week.. Prostitute Geocache!!! By Geocache Spoilers http://youtu.be/NdkPF6Rf1mk Check GeoPaul’s Youtube channel HERE Discussion.. What makes geocaching so great and unique, in comparison to other activities? Its a "make your own adventure" activity. You tweak what, when, where, why, who and how to make the game unique. It's a tour guide  Dave DeBaeremaeker "I've learned so much history about my town, and may other towns, that I never would have found without caching." It gives you a reason to explore It can make socialiser out of the most delicate of wallflowers Dave "I am not a social butterfly - just ask my wife about how cranky I get after spending a few hours at most social events.  Make it a social gathering of geocachers, and I am  there all day, and wanting more the next day.  Being amongst ones tribe is a good thing, and among geocachers, I've found my tribe." Cache On Wheels Geocaching "Geocaching can be done by everyone, we can't get them all but there's plenty to choose from. It encourages you to meet knew people, explore our wonderful world, learn historic and geological facts. It encourages us to get out and about giving us a purpose and plan where to go, or be able to do it ad hoc.Oh and you get pretty pics to out on your profile page." News & Events..
