Listen to our interview with Captainmath of Pike County, PA. We ran into
CaptainMath during the "Geocoinfest 2008 - Pittsburgh (GC17H2A)" and
spoke with him about Geocaching in Education during Episode 79 of the "Geocaching
Podcast." His first GPSR (Garmin GPSMap 60CS) was purchased mostly to assist in
navigation, but he's now upgraded to the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx for Geocaching. He's looking
toward the next upgrade and possibly one of the Garmin Oregons. He's a Macintosh User but runs
Windows and GSAK
for his Geocaching. Since his PDA died though, he's using his
Apple
iPod Touch and MacCaching to keep track of cache information. Some of
his favorite Geocaching took place during his attempt to complete
"The Pennsylvania All Counties Challenge
(GC10YN8)." One of his favorite cache finds is the "Rocky River Cache (GC1903)" for its rich
history and cool view. For a brief period this past summer, he was
rivalling the find rate of CCCooperAgency and nearly burned himself out on
Geocaching. As for event, the "Tri-State Treasures" events are a favorite, in
part due to its location near the "Tri State 1942" benchmark which marks the meeting of
New Jersey, New
York, and Pennsylvania. He's a fan on the Pittsburgh Steelers
and Pittsburgh
Penguins. "A Beautiful Mind" was probably his favorite movie of
all time, but on television he enjoys watching "The Office,"
"American Gladiators," "Star
Trek," and "Night Court."
