Los Angeles Times Geocaching Article

So, my mother-in-law clipped an article from the Monterey Herald about GeoCaching. Originally published in the LA Times, it contains this quote...

 

"For [name], an aerospace worker from Agoura Hills, the count is crucial. He ranks third in the world with more than 7,000 uncovered caches, an achievement he attributes to 'power caching'."

 

"[name] strives to find as many caches as possible. His record is 102 in a day. If [name] can't find a cache within seven minutes he doesn't linger to enjoy the scenery."

 

"'If you don't find it in seven minutes, you are not going to find it', he says."

 

"To cut his search time, he concedes, he has forced his four-wheel drive Jeep over hiking trails, sidewalks, and public parkland."

 

"'I have no qualms about taking my Jeep over bushes,' he says."

 

WTF?

There have been several threads about this. Supposedly the person quoted was being facetious and the reporter took his statements at face value (or misrepresented them....hmmmm, nah, a reporter would never do something like that). Anyway, its a lesson in what not to do when talking to reporters about anything.i
