The day after a newspaper article talked about the bomb squad blowing up a near by cache, illegally placed next to railroad tracks, I meet three folks just coming back from my Lassen View cache (I was on my way to pull it for the winter) they read the article, and took note of the part where an FBI agent said the game looked like fun, and decided to try it.....(they went to the web site just before I pulled the cache from it) They probably never would have heard about Geocaching if it wasn't for the guys blowing up that cache.
The next day I was searching for a cache near Shasta Dam, right under a transmission tower, with my day pack on and my trusty GPS in hand, when I started thinking what this would look like...about that time H14 (the local CHP chopper) started hovering right over my head, after making a couple passes, and waving back and forth, they flew off.
