Many people wonder what it takes to adopt a geocache but it doesn’t seem that many know how it works. This episode I talk with fellow podcaster and geocacher, Jim Pallwitz, AKA witzend. You may recognize him as one of the host of Caching in the Northwest. This episode Jim and I take a look at how geocache adoption works and the geocaching.com tool that allows you to do it.
