+scaramedic Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Forgive my noobness if I am wrong but this isn't Geocaching. There are no coordinates given. it looks like you are using clues given to you to find a location but not a cache. Essentially he is using the 'hunt' to get people to his book signings. Like today's clue you have to go to Borders books in Seattle where he is having a book signing. You're supposed to ask HIM for a clue and a gift. It's more publicity gimmick and less geocaching. Also they actually never use the term geocaching.
WanderWomen Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 But boy, they knew exactly what group to target for the thrill of a hunt. There are two parts, the book signings people can go to get a clue for something else but there is also a separate clue that has nothing to do with his book signing. For example, he was in WA state but the "cache" ( and he is calling them caches, just not geocaches) was in Cincinnati. It seems pretty cool to me.

+mtn-man Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Sorry, but that isn't geocaching. Geocaching uses coordinates. These forums are not a venue to help people sell books either. Closing this topic.
