Show 256.0: HOG – Distracted Driving

Listen To The Show (47:11)

On our geocaching podcast today, we'll chat about mixing geocaching with Valentine's day - or any other special day and we have an important "Hazards of Geocaching" segment about distracted driving. Also, a cacher caught in the act (now for all the world to see ...), a photography gadget good for hikers & geocachers and a great story about "Caching from half a world away..."

    Hi Sunny, Sandy, and Sean!

    Thanks for another great podcast about geocaching. You guys are awesome! I was so thankful that you promoted Oprah’s Distracted Driver piece. Definately a HOG! My better-half, winstonsdad, thinks I’m making a big deal out of nothing when I worry about him driving while navigating with his 60CSx to a cache. I try to make him let me navigate while we drive. He called me this morning after he listened to today’s show and laughed at himself while agreeing to not do it any more. Thanks for helping me out!

    I wanted to share with you how much we love our XShot Camera Extender http://www.xshotpix.com/. My husband and I use it all of the time when we are out caching. Our digital camera has a “flip” screen that we can turn around and see the image before the timer goes off, so we always get great results.

    Thanks again!
