Show 248.0: Tracking Geocaching Stats

On our geocaching podcast today, we take you with us on a quick road trip out to Palm Desert to visit family for Christmas. Along the way we chat about all sorts of geocaching goodness including several geocaching/GPS news items, some great resources and tips for you about tracking your geocaching stats and a creative cache container that's appropriate for the desert. We also share a number of listener rants and raves and a "warm-your-heart" story about an LPC.
