Pathfinder33

Got 2 tickets to see @zacbrownband for my birthday this Friday. Will be the first time to see him in concert since an @The_USO tour when I saw him in Iraq with @KidRock. Super excited for Friday!

@Atreides78723 Excellent read sir!! Hope to see you at a few of the events down there this next weekend!

This Space For Rent! Or Not! geocachingwhileblack.com/2025/03/07/thi… #gwb #geocaching #black #geocachingwhileblack

Well the planning and power trails worked out!! I got find number 9,000 at the Block Party Event in Yuma, AZ today. It was a great event. Lots of Lackies, reviewers, and most importantly friends! #pathfinder33 #geocaching #geocache #groundspeak #blockparty2025 #megaevent

@TaraBull808 For how bad they have wrecked their country, why would we want to inherit that?!?

Would you support Canada becoming the 51st US State?

@USGeocaching Not often. I tell them that this number is a federal government cell phone that tracks all incoming calls, and surprisingly I haven’t had any of those phone calls in a long time. #pathfinder33

Q11: Saturday is Computer Security Day. How often do you gets called by scammers pretending to be tech support, trying to help you with computer issues you don't have? Do you just hang up or play along? Have you ever told them about geocaching? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching Ahhh I remember the good ol days when you could log you own finds. As controversial as people thought it was…..it was fun. Even though I never did it, I might still like to have the option. #pathfinder33

Q10: How has geocaching changed since you began? Is there anything old you miss or new that you prefer? What year? (Legacy Q from Nov. 2015) #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching Naaaa I skip all this crazy mess ever since all of the madness around the cabbage patch release in 85. I try not to be anywhere where retail stores end up being the winner even if they make it seem we have gotten a deal. #pathfinder33

Q9: Black Friday. Once upon a time it was a day for big in-store specials. Now it’s a week (or more) of sales online and offline. How much do you pay attention to Black Friday sales? Are you likely to take advantage of them this year? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching Audio books if we are in my wife’s Nissan. If in my Jeep you can’t hear anything anyway so nothing. And if we are on the bikes then we usually have the intercom on and no music or books. #pathfinder33

Q7: Wednesday is National Jukebox Day. When you’re out driving, be it between caches or in general, what do you tend to listen to? Music? Audiobooks? News or talk radio? Something else? Or do you just enjoy some silence? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching I don’t trade swag anymore so that would be out, I hardly go for micro or nanos so no need for tweezers, and I only cito at cito events so that is out. I would add a rain jacket, they have multiple uses even in the desert, leatherman for its multi functions, and a pair of gloves.

Q6: The HQ blog recently had a post on 5 items to keep in your geocaching bag. What do you think of their list? Would you swap out one (or more) items for other things? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching I have not met the requirements. Still an event short. But might host one in Honduras during our cruise. Who knows. #pathfinder33

Q5: Islander1988 has met the requirements for hosting a Celebration Event in 2025, but he still hasn’t received one. Have you received one? If so, do you know how you’ll use it? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching Just the last two souvenirs for me. I’ve gotten all the rest of them for this year. #pathfinder33

Q4: The days are getting colder and shorter, CITO season 2 wraps up on Saturday, & there are only 2 more souvenirs left in 2024. What is left on your geocaching to do list for 2024? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching Ehhh we don’t exchange gifts anymore. We take trips and make memories. We will be on a cruise ship in the ocean this year for Christmas. #pathfinder33

Q2: It’s one month till Christmas! Have you started your holiday shopping yet, and are you the type of person who finishes early, or are you down to the wire picking things up? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching A 10 Troy ounce bar of silver. Because if they are muggles they won’t know that the silver is for me and not for the game. Gotta work smarter not harder. #pathfinder33

Q3: Many of us have muggle relatives. If your family members told you to pick out something for your geocaching hobby and they’d buy it for you for Christmas, what would you choose? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching Pathfinder33 here tonight from cold and wet St George, UT tonight. No garden this year. But it would just now be during down since this week was the first week here with lows in the 30s. #pathfinder33

Q1: Who’s here tonight, and from where? And an ice breaker question: do you have a garden, and if you do, is there anything still growing in it, or has everything died down for winter? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching @KennyMasonMady I love winter caching. All the camo on the trees falls away. Also caching and skiing is the best mashup of 2 outdoor activities. #pathfinder33

Q9. Another flashback to July. Kenny of @KennyMasonMady entered the culvert, got leeches on our ankles, while Mason sat back and laughed. Summer months are some of their favorite months. What specific month or season do you look forward to and why? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching @KennyMasonMady Most in a day was 8, most in a week is probably 13 on a trip from DC to Colorado. #pathfinder33

Q8. Flashback to July. @KennyMasonMady found the cache "Tri-State marker" located in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. What's the most amount of states you've found in a day? In a week? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching @KennyMasonMady I found one today that had a string of DNFs and it was still there. Last find was in 2022 by a GS Lackey GearGuru. #pathfinder33

Q6. @KennyMasonMady unearths an ammo can that had a string of DNF's. Turned out, it's still there! If you have a hide with a few DNF's but you're confident it's there, do you check it or leave it alone until someone finds it? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching @KennyMasonMady Sharks. I’m pretty much headed back to the boat if I see a shark. #pathfinder33 #usgeocachinghour

Q5. @KennyMasonMady is terrified of spiders..obviously. Who isn't? They met this surprise in the guardrail and almost took a free ride in Mason's hair. Any insects or animals automatically scream "no way" when spotted for you? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching @KennyMasonMady Not me. But as a hunter and huge hunting advocate it is a hunters responsibility to have 100% target ID and know what animal they are shooting at and if it is a male or female BEFORE pulling that trigger. I am usually good to go caching regardless what season it is. #pathfinder33

Q4: In the photo, you can see what @KennyMasonMady is going to tackle next wknd. Sadly, there is bear hunting in that area, on the same day. Geared up with tons of orange, they still plan on tackling this. Does hunting ever deter you from getting a few caches? #USGeocachingHour

@USGeocaching @KennyMasonMady The last 4 counties in Nevada to finish all the counties. Hoping to knock them out before the end of the calendar year. #pathfinder33

Q3: Spoiler - that's the cache. @KennyMasonMady wanted to game plan for their upcoming geomission. Wrapping up a huge geo-art in the mountains. What's your next planned geomission. #USGeocachingHour
