Stats Bar for FluteFaceListen to our interview with FluteFace of Marysville WA. Shortly after recording her interview, we had the chance to meet up with this flute player at Geowoodstock VI. During her interview she talked about how she didn't really get into Geocaching until she got her own GPSR. She's recently received a Garmin Colorado as a Valentine's Day gift and enjoys cache both with or without her family. Just like Firefly03 though, Flutey is really into Geocoins. She's nearly out of her first geocoin and looking forward to making a second soon. Perhaps the best benefit of Geocaching though has been that she's learned that she can do more than she thought she could.
We also thanked Bluedepth for his help with the show notes. Our congratulation on his first year cacheaversary went to ReefPilot having hit caches in 24 states, 2 Canadian provinces, and 4 countries. We also received an e-mail from Jereme who was inspired by episode 60 of the Geocaching Podcast to attempt using Geocaching to work toward a healthier life. He's writing about his progress and experiences on this "SlimCache" blog.

FrostG1anT enjoys puzzle caches, voluntary cache repair, and CITO. He has a preference for "Stale Caches" which have gone unfound for a month, finds them extra-compelling. SlatRat is another cacher that taught FrostG1anT to enjoy elegantly designed geocaches, such as The Death of Sherlock Holmes. One of FrostG1anT's favorite hides is Save the Cheerleader, Save the World. We also enjoyed a story of gbug66 and his private property cache -- The 466 Cache. When not actively engaged in Geocaching, FrostG1anT prefers to enjoy running and cultivating good relationships with land managers to further Geocaching in his area.
