Today's Cacher - January, 2005

January, 2005

Geocaching is your way of life. You immerse yourself in anything and everything that has to do with a cleverly hidden ammo can or plastic box. Your vehicle probably identifies you as a geocacher, as does the equipment you carry. But wait...there’s something missing. Is your apparel a giveaway to your passion for concealed treasures? No? Today’s Cacher to the rescue!

To show our appreciation to our readers and contributors, we are giving away at random seven Today’s Cacher tee shirts. Five will be awarded for published articles, one for a published caching-related photo, and one to a new subscriber to our newsletter. Our deadline for submissions is normally the 15th, but you have until the 23rd to contribute for the month of January. Contributors worldwide are eligible.

Our New Year's Resolution

Today's Cacher will produce a high-quality, quarterly geocaching magazine, delivered right to your mailbox, early in 2005. Details on how you can subscribe will be available here in our February issue.

Our plans include the continuation of this free website which will reflect the material in our printed magazine. As always, our readers submit most of our material. As a token of thanks to our regular contributors, and a little incentive to those slackers, we will begin offering prizes to our writers next month. If your creative writing spirit is waxing, please contact us for details. Someday, we hope to actually pay people to write.

Our cover this month features Gus, the friendly travel bug. Read his caching adventures, and learn about some other, less-than-friendly travelers, too. Been chasing a lot of caches lately? Read about a new, moving cache game established in British Columbia, Canada. A group of geocachers have designed a code of ethics for our game; check it out in this issue. Discover the top 10 worst geocaching predictions and consult your horoscope in our humor section. Submit a caption for the photo in our Olla Podrida section...we'll print several of your answers in next month's issue.

We'd like to remind you that Today's Cacher features a mailing list which will deliver news and updates directly to your email inbox without inundating you with unnecessary details. We look forward to adding you to our subscription database.

Our PDF PDF version will be available January 15th.
