About this episode

The episode features Jon discussing the appeal of EarthCaches and his contributions to the geocaching community.

We are back with another Geocaching Downunder episode. PurpleCacheEater and cosmonaut97 are joined by Jon (That_Geocaching_Guy) to talk about what makes EarthCaches so addictive, the moments that hook you, and the details that separate a good one from an unforgettable one. Jon shares how he helps the community through his EarthCache Writing 101 class, including teaching it remotely to a group in Queensland, and why you should absolutely reach out if you have an idea brewing. We also dig into the very real question he kept getting last year: “Can I turn this photo into an EarthCache?” It came up so often that Jon created his EarthCache or Pass? tool. If you stumble across something geologically interesting and think it might have EarthCache potential, you can submit the details and photos through his form and he will do some analysis to help you figure out if you have got something worth pursuing. And if you love a challenge, Jon has also created EarthCache Bingo with 25 squares to complete, which is basically permission to plan your next adventure around geology and smilies.
