You do realize that at the end of the show you gave the “old” number. I played for a short while trying to come up with some cool acronym or initialism for the new number but I just couldn’t do it. Thankfully the phone remembers for me.
Unsolicited plug for Cachly. I bought the app this weekend. First app I’ve ever bought. I like it! I did find that if I left the map going the battery went down quickly, but if I switched to the compass it lasted a really long time. I don’t know that I’ll be a total convert to the phone, but for those times when I don’t have my GPSr at hand I will have my phone and Cachly. I found it very easy to use. It does everything I expected it would, but I assume there will be more features in the future that I haven’t thought of. For $5 that’s cheap!
Thanks for the reminder – we just haven’t had the chance to re-record the ending. Glad you’re enjoying Cachly!
Your replacement of sheet logs leads to a interesting question: What do you do with them? I tend to collect them in the geomobile and then throw them away when its time to clean up. Great picture of the log by the way, which inspired the question!
Yeah, we don’t usually keep them and we certainly don’t audit them to see if any online logs should be deleted. I wonder what other people do? Maybe we’ll throw out that question some time on the show or social media?
I had a long response but the security bit me here again. Moral of the story – I’d like to see the question asked.
For Brood X, a local cache hide a 4 stage multi in Princeton NJ where each stage was a cicada type containers. http://coord.info/GCJJ11

Princeton, NJ and the Cicada’s are some what historic. Bob Dylan wrote “Day Of The Locusts” after receiving an honorary music degree. The ceremony was well attended by the Brood X Cicadas.
Thanks for sharing this feedback!
Its nice hearing you saying it is getting warmer in the northern atmosphere while cycling to work in Montreal feeling the snow flakes on my face. Yes we had 23 degrees Celsius on Sat. and than on Sunday the temp drooped and in the middle of May we got snow…
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about the snow in May!! Hope you warm up soon! -Sandy
