+WalruZ Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 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?

+budd-rdc Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 In case people are wondering, the original article was published on February 16, 2006, author Hugo Martin, Los Angeles Times. Here's a link to the abstract: L.A. Times Article Abstract (FREE) Requires subscription or fees to download the full article. I'm just hoping he's doing his part to eradicate the non-native invasive plants (ice plants, star thistles) while he's at it. Link to comment
+briansnat Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 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 Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well I know he could have difficulty finding a few of mine in a very short time span. And the Jeep thing wouldn't help either. What a JERK he must be. Link to comment
