On this episode we celebrate the fact that this is 300 episodes of great geocaching content. We answer the question should Geocaching.com should introduce a new cache type specifically for powertrails to differentiate them from traditional Geocachers. The icon could be a 35mm film canister with ‘PT’ on the canister.
We also answer another listener question from Bertrum. They ask: I wanted to know where you stand on the subject of signing the log book and if it is really necessary in this day and age?

On this episode we respond to a listener question from scoddule. They ask “Geocaching.com is fantastic, but it lacks a community-of-cachers feature. Around my area there are some keen cachers that I am beginning to get to know through events etc, but it would be really nice to have a chat area that we could all subscribe to. Is this something that you do either on or off gc.com? What is the best way to foster local community online in a way that new people can still find out about the group and join in?”
We also hear from the CachingK’s and respond to this questions “Why exactly did Groundspeak do away with virtual caches? In the post 9/11 world, it makes sense to allow them”.
