January 16th, 2012

This week on the Chicago Geocacher Podcast: It’s the 50th show… Live from Bogies Legendary Barn and Ale House in beautiful Mount Prospect, IL! Scott and Walt get roasted and toasted! Both local listeners as well as out-of-state listeners join the fun: from Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Texas! All this and a mystery guest that will make you go ape! There’s a swinging game of Jeopardy and we also read emails, milestones, and have our usual question of the show! And there’s a live contest. This is the big one. If you couldn’t hear what we were saying while you were there or you couldn’t make it to the live show. Sit back, relax and enjoy the fun!
