+N9PPA Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm looking for video. Google had some but a lot was personel video. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Bestest video news report that's still "live" is this one from WJAC television in Western Pennsylvania. Having a uniformed state park ranger speak positively about participating in the sport helps immensely as a resource to show to other land managers, law enforcement, etc. Quote Link to comment
+GClouse Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Nashville's Public TV Nashville Public Television recently ran a short "filler" video abot geocaching. It was locally produced. It gave a short description of the sport and featured a pair of local cacher seeking a cache in a local park. Quote Link to comment
+teamharris Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I pull the Google News Feed on my site Caching Adventures, I'm looking for a few more news feeds to pull, but you'll find some decent new stories there every few days. If it's video your looking for, there are almost 40 videos on Google Video. Quote Link to comment

I'd definitely recommend it as part of a caching presentation to show the national/international scope of the activity (all ages, family-oriented, global fun) and then address some of the more security-related issues with the Pennsylvania video suggested by Lep. I was amused by the reference to caching as "a club" with an online website and the claim, "What's inside is never very valuable," even if both statements contain some truth.

+N9PPA Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 How do I save the video that is enbeded in the wab page? Quote Link to comment
+Teach2Learn Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 How do I save the video that is enbeded in the wab page? If you're talking about the CBS video, I would click on the "e-mail" option and send it your own e-mail address or the address of the group/organization to whom you wish to present it. There may be other options, but that one seems the easiest. Quote Link to comment

Just search for "geocaching" when the page comes up. Of course, you could always just go to the website for your presentation, especially if you have a digital projector-computer connection.

+Pablo Mac Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Do a search for "geocache" and/or "geocaching" on YouTube.com. Disclaimer: you'll see a couple of my geocaching videos on there. Quote Link to comment
