Behind The Scenes: Geocaching Podcast Ep. 226 - Canine Consideration

I am sitting here listening to my recorded track of tonight's Geocaching Podcast which is kinda weird in a way. We just finished recording the show that I am able to hear completely while we actually talk and then to hear just my track which is used for the final cut misses everything but what I actually say. It does though give me enough information that I can write this post. But I digress...

Tonight it was just Darrylw4 and myself Andy HeadHardHat Smith. XpunkX was out doing family stuff and could not make it. We and more precisely Darrylw4 missed him lots because not only did he have to mind the board he had to say a lot of the meta-content that XpunkX normally does as well. You never know how difficult it can be until  you actually have to do it.. Great job Darryl.

This was a fun episode on several levels for me personally. Our guest for the show is North Carolina based geocacher NCBiscuit. This is a geocaching team where Linda (NC) pairs up with her partner Biscuit who happens to be a fun loving Golden Retriever. I have been friends with Linda and Biscuit for many years and it was a real pleasure having her on.

Over the course of the show we discussed many things our viewers have asked about geocaching with your pets. Things like the amount of training that may be needed for your pooch - and you. Safety and First Aid tips, helpful hints and a whole bunch more. You will have to listen to the whole show to get all the information but you will be so glad you did.

If you listen you will actually hear my dog during the recording. How fitting is that when discussing our pets while geocaching. So as I wrap this post up my dog Emily gently rests her head on my knee and looks up at me. Tail wagging and then that gentle but routine doggie fart, her tail wags a bit faster. Boy, what we do when dealing with our pets, but hey we wouldn't have it any other way.

Time to let the pooch out the back door. You can hear the entire episode in the next day or two. Be sure to give us a listen - phew Emmy - OUTSIDE!

We record the Geocaching Podcast each and every week on Wednesdays at 9:30pm EST. The recorded episode for this week will be available any time now via iTunes and the Geocaching Podcast website.

Until Next Week.

Geocaching With NCBiscuit

I recently had the pleasure of filming an upcoming GeoSnippits segment for Michigan Magazine TV (RFDTV Network) that I called "Geocaching with NCBiscuit". When all was said and done, the segment which will air later in the year turned out just the way I wanted it. With that being said I really wanted to toot the horn some more about this amazing team. I say team because it shows the team effort between my good friend Linda a.k.a. "NC" and her very lovable canine partner "Biscuit". Linda has been geocaching for about five years now which coincidentally is how old Biscuit is. Together they have over 5000 geocaching finds.  In the geocaching community they are like peanut butter and jelly. When you see one of them you immediately think of the other.

Linda is an amazing geocacher that I have had the privilege to geocache with in the past. Her warm smile and energetic spirit is immediately apparent when you meet her. Biscuit is a bundle of raw energy and even though she has had two acl replacements, never stopped moving for a second and is an avid geocacher in her own right.

As we walked around the Jordan Lake Gamelands one of the geocaches was near the waters edge. Before you could say fetch Biscuit was diving for anything that resembled a stick. The issue was never if we could get Biscuit in Jordan Lake but if she would ever get OUT of Jordan Lake. Luckily Linda has trained her well and Biscuit would be where ever Linda told her to be. It was quite fun to watch how smoothly they worked together.

We had a great time filming the Geocaching with NCBiscuit segment and I can't wait till it airs. Now viewers in all 50 states will be able to meet and greet this fantastic geocaching duo.

Thanks NCBiscuit for such a fun geocaching adventure.
