Where In The World Is Pete The Parrot? Groningen, Netherlands

Well know geocaching travel bug Pete The Parrot

Ah, world renown travel bug Pete the Parrot (TB21K5T) has been on the move again and back in January traveled an additional 11,378 miles from New Zealand all the way up to the Netherlands. Pete is one well traveled party animal with well over 36,000 miles under his belt.

Pictured below Pete is making a new friend at a game preserve called The Parrot Place near Kerikeri.

Pete The Parrot has been travelling the world since April of 2008 and has been enjoying all the fun and excitement down under. Even though the temperatures are not as warm where he is now. Pete stayed for quite the extended stay in Europe back in 2010.

If you want to check out Pete's map, photos and everything else he has been up to visit geocaching.com and use the travel bug code of TB21K5T. Enjoy.

Geocaching Travel Bugs Can Go Away For A While: Green Dragon

Guardian Angel the Green Dragon is back in geocaching circulation.

I have had geocaching travel bugs disappear for a long time. Many never to be seen or heard from again. So it is always nice to see one come back from the great beyond and placed back into the wild.

For example my Guardian Angel the Green Dragon travel bug which was last reported way back in August 29 of 2010 suddenly was placed in a geocache today I was very pleased to see this.

Green Dragon was placed June 10th, 2008 and has accumulated a modest 1600 miles. If you want to learn more as to why it is so duly named and his travel exploits go to geocaching.com and check out TB26XYW.

Lovin' Those Lunchtime Geocaches

HeadHardHat near a very scenic spot while geocaching

Like many geocachers say,

" A bad day geocaching is better than a good day at work..."

I couldn't agree more as I went for a geocache just off of one of the many local green-ways in Cary, North Carolina. Had a lot of fun getting to and back out a nearby find.

I hope you get a chance to venture out and snag a quick geocache near you too!

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching Podcast - EP. 246 - GeoWoodstock X

That's right boys and girls. The grand daddy of geocaching events Geowoodstock turns ten this year and they are taking it right back to it's roots by hosting at Sellersburg, Indiana. This makes it literally about 9 miles from the very first Geowoodstock event.

During tonight's episode of the Geocaching Podcast you could just feel the excitement from two of the event committee from GWX who were our guests on the show. Both Daggy and Ronny answered all of our questions that we thought would bring the most value to you our listeners. The whole crew was here tonight so XpunkX, Darrylw4 and myself (HeadHardHat) really enjoyed ourselves as the show progressed.

I don't want to give everything away but I think it is important for everybody to know that registration for Geowoodstock X ends on April 15th. So be sure to get your registration package, err, well, registered.

The Mega event is held this year on May 26th, 2012. Don't you dare miss it. I know that I will be there so be sure to stop by and say hi!

You can get more information about Geowoodstock X from their website at:
http://www.geowoodstock.com/gws10/index.html

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.

 See you next week!

All Geocachers Should Learn From The Boy Scouts

Boy Scout Geocaching Merit Badge

Recently I did an episode of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) about the requirements the Boy Scouts have to complete for their Geocaching Merit Badge.  To be honest I was so impressed with them I made the bold statement that all geocachers should try to earn their own Geocaching merit badge Boy Scout or not. What do I mean by this?

For a Boy Scout to earn the Geaocaching Merit Badge they have to learn all the key aspects of the game, sport and obsession. Next they must fulfill basic requirements with hands on techniques and finally they teach others what they have learned and become active members of the Geocaching community. It is an extremely well rounded program that demonstrates all the aspects of the game with an understanding of the environment and our neighborhood communities. In my humble opinion - AWESOME!

Let's go over some of the highlights. 

Understanding the differences between a GPSr and a Compass - learn how to use them. 

I am so into this, when it comes to geocachers who do more than just your standard park and grabs. I am referring to the ones who go into terrains that are off the beaten path and you truly need a tool to get from point A to point B. We rely so much on our smart phones and GPSr units when venturing out but what about the situations where they are no longer an option? Now what? Knowing the basic skills of using a standard compass and a map should be a requirement because you just never know.

Be Prepared.

The Boy Scout motto and yet so many geocachers go out into the wild not knowing what awaits them then wonder why things go bad and they are not prepaired to handle the situation. The first thing the Boy Scouts are taught to do is anticipate the environment they will be going to, understand the potential hazards and have the proper tools and equipment in case something happens. Just a case in point. When is the last time you even replenished your automobile first aid kit? Do you even have a first aid kit in your automobile? Good things to think about.

Get Involved

Several of the opportunities a Boy Scout has when earning his Merit Badge is to participate Geocaching including projects like making their own Boy Scout Travel Bug or host a Geocaching event. Tons of fun activities like teaching another Boy Scout Troop or local group how to geocache. CITO events are also encouraged which I thought was a great way to help the community as well. It is all good.

So as you can see even from this set of highlights that the Boy Scouts have the right idea and how everyone can learn from them on how to be actively part of the Geocaching family.

What are your thoughts?

You can see all of the requirements here:  http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Geocaching

That Geocaching Bug Is Starting To Bite

I leave my office building here in Cary, NC and the sun today is especially warm. The skies are very blue and the sense that winter, what little we had this year, is now an ever distancing memory.  After opening my cache mobile's trunk I look down to see my trusty Geocaching backpack, pouch and walking poll. 

"Oh man I really want to go Geocaching", is my first thought and in the back of my mind I can feel the Geocaching bug telling me to "go-go-Go!". So yes it is spring and for this area it is time to dust off your gear, replenish your swag bag and plan all the maintanence that may be needed for you existing Geocaching hides. Oh, and getting yourself outside and making those finds too.

Where to start first? For me I will be doing a bunch of park and grabs just to shake out the cobwebs and get my Geocaching seances a tingling again. Then when the weekend rolls around I will be taking a large bag of swag, new log books and my emergency Geocaching repair kit with me. I find maintenance is much more fun if I scout some new Geocaching finds near my hides so I can do a little of both. Then I mark off all the geocache hides from my list so I don't miss any and also archive any that are deemed necessary. Things do change over time and a once great hide might not be so much now due to unforceen factors. The main thing is you are taking the extra steps to make Geocaching as much fun as possible by keeping your hides current.

Ah well, the old clock on the wall says my lunch hour is going fast and I want to get a close by geocache just waiting for me. Hope you are starting to get the Geocaching bug as well and venturing out into the wild. Be sure to send me some photos and stories so I can pass them on!  Headhardhat@gmail.com

Did You Look Before You Leap Day Geocached?

Hey, just in case you didn't know it's leap day!

If you are a geocacher and more importantly a geocacher that is trying to fill up their geocaching calendar (basically taking credit for finding at least one geocache for every calendar day of the year). Then this is a chance that only happens once every four years.

So if you have not found a geocache on February 29th yet you better hurry. Cuz your next chance won't be until 2016.

Don't forget!

P.S. found mine during my lunch hour at work. -HHH

Snoball: Set Triggers to Donate to Non-Profit Charities

Jeffery Powers and Andy HeadHardHat Smith at CES2012 TPN.tv Booth

If you are a non-profit, this is a great way to get donations. People would log on to Snoball and integrate giving tp charities of your choice.

For instance, if you set a goal, you can donate to a cause. These triggers will act when something happens. For instance. I could say: I’ll donate $100 if my Twitter followers reach 1,000. When that happens, the trigger is tripped and your account will send the money.

This can work with a business – after so many Foursquare check-ins, a business could donate to their charity. There is also a cap, just in case the Snoball goes viral. You don’t want to break the bank.

There are over 1.6 million nonprofits to send donations to. These are 501C and 170C non-profits, as registered by the government. Start a Snoball, Share a Snoball and see the good.

For instance, there is a Snoball right now that when Jeremy Lin scores, someone is donating 5 cents to Garden of Dreams Foundation.

They are working on defined categories, but you can definitely search for local charities to give money to. There is no “random” option, but Snoball does feature charities that you could get behind.

This is all tax deductible. You can get a report at the end of the year who you gave money to.

Ford on Researching Innovation: CES2012 Interview with Jeffrey Powers and Andy HeadHardHat Smith

Jeffrey Powers and Andy HeadHardHat Smith at TPN.tv Booth

We talk with Johannes Krisstenson at Ford talking about research at Ford. They are displaying some wonderful research information of what vehicles are coming in the future. My Ford Touch is one of those things.

We talk about the new Ford Fusion and how it shows some of those features. 100 MPGe, smart energi charge, and more. Pulling out of the driveway, the car is quiet – no emissions. We talk about missing the sound of the rev.

The input for research comes from not only a think tank, but also customers. Research and listening are two things that bring innovation of tomorrow in vehicles.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching Podcast - Ep.#240 - Alternate Trackable Services

Had a full crew and another great show tonight when doing our latest rendition of the Geocaching Podcast. Our latest episode was all about Alternate Trackable Services. Sometimes we have subjects for the show that when you realize it is a topic of discussion and you think to yourself. "There is no way we are going to get a full show out of that." This was the case with tonight's show but one of the great things about XpunkX, Darrylw4 and myself is we can have an active discussion about pretty much anything. So if we need filler we can pull it out of thin air. Long story, short we had more than enough to discuss and some left over. Always a great thing.

This episode discussed a lot about Darrylw4's current obsession with figuring out sixty some puzzle caches and my move to my new residence. Another large chunk of discussion was about GeoKrety, Where's George, Serentripiti and other traveler web sites. To get all the details be sure to listen to the entire show when it comes out.

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.

See you next week!

OpenCaching.com Has Some New Updates and Reminds Us Of Some Geocaching Guidelines

This was sent out today from the folks at OpenCaching.com. Thought you might be interested.

-HHH

Get familiar with local rules

Our handy geocaching guide lays out the basic rules of geocaching. But some special areas can require that you follow additional rules and guidelines. For example, some parks may require permits before you place a cache while others don’t allow geocaches at all. To help you navigate these special requirements, we’ve created a database of local rules*.

Like everything on OpenCaching.com, the data belongs to the community; this a publicly accessible, open and free database. When you hide a new cache on the site, you’ll be shown any regulations that apply to your new cache and you’ll be asked to explain how you followed those rules in your notes to reviewers. 

The local rules database is designed to empower geocachers to work closely with governments to promote responsible geocaching. If you know of an area with a geocaching policy not listed in the database, let us know and we’ll add it – check out the news page for details. 

See our other site improvements 

We’ve listened to your feedback and made a ton of improvements to OpenCaching.com over the past several months. We’ve enhanced the hide and review processes, added an RSS feed, doubled the size of our geocaching guide, improved our support for non-English speaking cachers and more. Check out the full list of updates on our news page.

You can read the memo in it's entirety by clicking here.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) Ep. #919 - Geocaching Faux Pas

It is so good to be back in front of the camera again as we recorded Geocaching World last night while being joined by our very robust and informative chat room. I do have to admit that we had to work out some cob webs and technical difficulties but the show was great as usual. Yeah we had some hurdles all right. For me personally after coming back from some health issues and dealing with a move to my new residence things have been pretty hairy. In fact my temporary spot for my studio (aka the front room) was finally put together about an hour before the show.

There be gremlins here. It doesn't matter if you are doing something relatively basic like a podcast or more elaborate like a video-cast you are always going to run into technical difficulties. Tonight was no exception when things like right in the middle of the show my wireless router simply failed. It never did this before and maybe it was because of the move but BOOP! no internet connection at all. Co-Host Courtney Wallin and Managing Director Andy McCaskey did an impromptu fill in while I banged electronics with large blunt objects but eventually I made it back to continue our discussion. Don't you just love it when things like that happen while in a LIVE recording?

Speaking of the show we ran with a subject I very much enjoyed talking about recently on the Geocaching Podcast in regards to Geocaching Faux Pas. Those nasty little no-nos that we may or may not do while out hunting for geocaches. We talked about everything from how you should not put foul language in a cache log to don't lie to the authorities if approached. All in all we discussed over two dozen topics. You will just have to watch the show when it comes out in distribution.

Our prize winners received some really great swag from our Geocaching World Cache Stash which included a CoinsandPins.com First To Find Traveler Tag and a CoinsandPins.com Earth Geocaching Pin. Way cool and congrats to Mike Neal and Louis Caplan for winning these great prizes.

Other points of interest is the introduction to a new segment being shown on RVNN LIVE called Geocaching Radar. It is a quick jam packed summary about any possible place in the USA. Included is some great travel information and a description of a choice geocache that you may be interested finding in your travels. Be sure to check that out on RVNN LIVE.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching Podcast: Ep. #239 February Cacher Coffee

Boy did it feel good to be back in the saddle again by doing the Geocaching Podcast last night. After being away for a few weeks I really missed not talking with Darrylw4 and XpunkX. Unfortunately XpunkX was not able to be part of our February Cacher Coffee but our friend TheBadCop was.

The show this week we spoke in depth about the demise of the GeoMate Jr. GPSr product line and our suspicions as to how this unique niche unit could be discontinued in such a manner.

We also discussed the introduction of CacheSence for the Android smartphone. This was formerly CacheBerry for the BlackBerry phone.

I don't want to spoil the show so that is all I will bring up for today's Behind The Scenes of the Geocaching Podcast. You will just have to download it and enjoy when it becomes available either today or tomorrow.

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.

See you next week!
