Geocaching Colorado

I picked up today's paper and I did not see the article.  I've contacted the report to see when it will be published.  Stay tuned.....

Jason, Reporter at The Denver Post:

Hey Chris ... geocaching has the main feature in next week's Outdoor Extremes section. www.denverpost.com/extremes So it'll be next Tuesday, a week from today. Thanks again for your help. -j

Next week it is!

Cool, Thanks for following that up!

Seek and you shall find

Glad to know when it would be published.

I figured it wasn't going to be this week, when he contacted me yesterday for more info.  He seemed mostly interested in my views on why geocachers like to clean up so much.

I explained that it wasn't always an all the time thing - but that we were more prepared when we go out - and we have a vested interest in places in the outdoors.  I also explained how I've done cleanups for the parks dept twice to keep on their good side and try to continue to improve our image with them :)

Because the

"I'm just talking on a big outdated cell phone"

"I'm searching for endangered tagged rodents"

etc...

excuses aren't working as well anymore?

It was nice having a "off season" (instead of in Apr) CITO event to give back a little to our playing fields, thanks again to WitzAbout for organizing that one with the "Man" down here.

Qualiity. Not Quantity!

Saw this post on DenverPost.com from Keystone Ski Area (Resort):

Keystone the first to offer GPS-assisted treasure hunts

I am so there, I've got a new green helmet
(not that I ever actually wear it, though I probably should )
that is just begging for some geocaching artwork...

PS: This geocacher could write a book (but who reads books now-a-days) on Land and Sea Navigation and even know which way a river flows on those topo-thingies

OK Corey you beat me to the post about Caching in Keystone.   But I'm still laughing about the comments said in the article.

"Richard Dyess of Brighton, who was skiing at Keystone last month, dismissed the craze as being too easy once someone learns how to use the GPS unit.

"What they need to do is learn how to read a topographic map and a compass," the former competitive orienteer said".

Maybe he should go look for the "Old Ranch" or "n0waes lure" or some other caches that I have out there.   Then he might really know the meaning of easy.

I will hide and you will seek.

I just knew you'd catch that.  When I read that line I thought you'd enjoy that line.
