sensfan Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi, My name's Alex Hebert and I'm a reporter for the Ottawa Sun. I'm writing a feature on geocaching and need Ottawa area geocachers to interview. If you're willing to have a chat with me, you can e-mail me at alexander.hebert@gmail.com I'd leave you my phone number but I don't like posting it on a forum. I had never heard of geocaching until my editor assigned me the story. I decided to, as a newbie, try to find as many caches in Ottawa in one day as I could. It turns out, I found five (looked for six but couldn't find the one under the bank street bridge) and I think this will be a hobby that I keep doing after the story. Also, could anyone tell me how you log the caches you've found? I can't see anywhere to do that. Anyways, I would greatly appreciate it if some of you would be willing to talk to me. Thanks, Alex Quote Link to comment

Thanks, Alex Hi Alex, If you create an account at http://www.geocaching.com and then log in with it, you'll find a "Log your visit" at the top right corner of the individual cache's page. Good luck with your story -- I look forward to reading it! Scott Quote Link to comment
+Zartimus Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Dropped you an email. We'll talk your ear off about caching. About the logging, what the guy above said. I'll assume you already have an account 'cause you're in the forums. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hello Alex, You REALLY should get in touch with hidnseek or someone with Canada's Capital Cachers/Cacheurs de la capital du Canada. They are Ottawa based and I think have gone through the hoops to become a regional geocaching association. They are in the process of minting a CCC geocoin which would make a terrific image with your article if there is allowances for images and if you get onto the topic of trackable items . Also, there have been a couple of very good newspaper articles on the topic of geocacing posted on these forums recently which will help you with your groundwork and possibly give you a basis for your discussions with the interviewees. Good luck and make sure you share it with us when it's done! Quote Link to comment
