+Grandpa Rocks & Grouchy Gramma Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Did anyone see the article with picture of Oregone on the front of the Living section of this mornings Oregonian? Don't read it if you don't want to find the spoilers to a couple of caches . It also mentions Explosis and has a small profile on each of them. Good article and friendly to geocaching. Way to go guys . I've gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back, please keep me here. Quote Link to comment

+Bodoni Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 How does he do it? He managed to get PBR and ex-girlfriends in the article! Quote Link to comment
+Quantum Mechanic Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I thought the article would be much longer, but like Bodoni said, he did manage to get PBR and his ex's into the story.

+wadel Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Can anyone find a link to an online version? I checked out the Oregonian website but couldn't find the article. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 here's the article on the oregonlive site: http://www.oregonlive.com/search/index.ssf?/base/living/104617815494540.xml?oregonian Quote Link to comment
+Zzzoey & illDRIVEuNav Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Oregone and Explosis are studs, no two ways about it. Great article. I love the Explosis Factor heading. I was laughing my head off in the breakroom and my coworkers were looking at me like I had quite possibly overdosed on caffeine "already". Very good, positive piece, and I am almost afraid to see how many new geocachers it creates! And just exactly what did you plan on doing with the religious pamphlet there, Oregone? I think I am going to have to beg for an autograph as well. Quote Link to comment

igor71 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 What the article didn't talk about was Oregone and the mystery of Pandora's Box (kinda like the Hardy Boys, but not). They made geocaching sound almost wholesome. Some of us know better. Quote Link to comment
LittleImp Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 So I wake up this morning and the grandparents are already off to work and there is the paper lying open to the article on the dining room table. "Hey look, that's Oregone!" I read it over my frozen waffles and decide to jump on line to see what everyone is saying about it and who is it that started the thread The Grandparents! They really do have to be first at everything don't they! HEHEHE. Great article, gonna need to make some copies to keep. It was kinda cool to know that I have a famous copy of the PGE CD, picked it up from the fire tower. Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Thank y'all for noticing me in the newspaper. I know i'm a big geek. However, as many of you may know, a life-long dream of mine was finally fulfilled this morning: To have my picture in print between two of my idols--bill clinton and margie boule. and if anyone ever utters the words, 'the explosis factor' to me, i'm gonna throw whiskey bottles at them.

+Trafcon Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 What exactly is the "Explosis Factor"??? I thought he had given up on caching . Well I loved the article and thought it was a good (although short) one. Oh well ! Martin and Short go together well. I mean the comedian. I mean the Hollywood Second City TV comedian. . I see that you didn't take Lauren with you on this trek. Afraid she might steal the limelight??? Once again nice article and tastefully done. They picked two of my mentors and two of the best ambassadors this sport has to offer. KTF !!! GBWY !!! Quote Link to comment
Syn Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 a coworker had the living section sitting on my desk. It was great how he mentioned his ex's and pbr in the article. I ran into explosis once on a hunt in happy valley. I saw the explosis factor first hand as he walked through a ton of sticker bushes, crossed a muddy creek 3x and circled round and round till he found the cache. Good article. Makes me wish I could cache all day, although I can barely find time to do jack anymore. Quote Link to comment

+sparklehorse Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Something's mighty fishy here! After reading the piece in the paper I looked up the now famous cache where Oregone's mug shot was taken, the "Clatskanie Fire Tower" cache. Guess what, there's no recent log of Oregone's there! Why? Because he found that cache way back in August of 2 0 0 1! Yet according to the article he left a vintage 2002 PGE CD in the cache. What's up with that? Man if this means there's another cacher out there with a time machine I'm crying foul. Confused in PDX. Quote Link to comment

I think it's more like he first visited in 2001 and took the reporter to that cache cause he knew it was a good one.

Hey, he got his picture in the paper AND brazenly consumed alcohol in front of a reporter. Ya can't let him off scott-free! . Quote Link to comment
