TravelFleas Gift Certificate Holiday Giveaway

travelfleas.com Christmas Scene

True, it's a little early for the holidays. But we're giving away a $10 Gift Certificate to TravelFleas.com, and we want to insure that the winner has plenty of time to get theirs ordered, manufactured, and shipped before the holidays; as TravelFleas make a perfect stocking stuffer for that Geocacher in your life!

The crew at TravelFleas are great friends of this blog and our website via social media. In case you're not familiar with TravelFleas, they are personalized tags (they can accept up to 20 characters) measuring 1/2" x 1 1/4", which can be attached to a Geocaching trackable, or placed in a Geocache as a signature item. They are available in 12 colors, and you can buy them in the TravelFleas Store on their website. Note they have other items for sale, including TravelFleas logbooks, necklace kits, and license plates (a moot point for the blogger, who lives in a 2 plate State). Or you could learn more about them by reading the interview we did on this blog with John from TravelFleas on June 27th, or the interview The It's not about the numbers blog did with Mike from TravelFleas in 2012.

To enter The TravelFleas Gift Certificate Holiday Giveaway, fill out the form below with your name (as it says, "Geonick" is fine), and a valid email address.

An interview with Geocaching Vlogger GeoPaul (Part 2)


In Part 1 of our interview with Geocaching Vlogger GeoPaul, we mentioned that he had recently won a highly prestigious award from a MAJOR Geocaching website. That award was Geocacher of the Month, for August 2013, as awarded by The Geocaching Blog, the official Blog of Geocaching.com. How that works, in case any readers are not familiar with the process, is that there are 3 nominees every month, nominated by readers of that blog, their peers in the community. Voting is then open, usually for 2 weeks, via comments to the blog post introducing the 3 nominees, and a panel from Geocaching HQ decides the winner. Generally, The Geocaching Blog has been naming the nominees the first few days after the Month in question, and naming the GOTM the 3rd week after the month in question. This blog certainly knows what it's like to be behind on blogging! We now continue our interview with GeoPaul.

An interview with Geocaching Vlogger GeoPaul (Part 1)


 We here at the OCNA blog have done a tribute post to the late Steve Love, AKA Sven, and we of course post the weekly content of The GCDoc as guest posts on the blog. The Doc is a member of The Geocaching Network on YouTube, which has currently has 31 members, although I wouldn't describe them all has highly active Vloggers, or all with 100% Geocaching content. We at the blog were first made aware of GeoPaul, another member of the network, from The UK, via him making himself known on Twitter via The Geocaching Twittersphere, even before he joined The Geocaching network. And he most certainly is a prolific Vlogger, with 100% Geocaching related content. Check out his entire YouTube channel here.
