32: Walt Needs Swag

May 11th, 2011

This week on the Chicago Geocacher Podcast: Walt imitates Monty Python! We honor caches placed by BehmSquad as well as other caches we’ve done since the last episode. We reveal our new voice mail number, report on a local geocaching bomb scare in Evanston, and Scott recounts his latest meet-up with a LEO — this time in Naperville! We open a packed email ammo can, and celebrate the caching milestones of our listeners (including a devilish one). All that — plus a new contest and, of course, the Question of the Show.
