+explosis Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 There should be an article running in Tuesday's (March 19th) edition of the Wall Street Journal. It should cover some geocache hunts and the Girlfriends get together. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment
+Maps-R-Us Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 After this comes out, I may have to modify the poll! Thanks for letting us know when it is coming, Explosis. Hopefully it will be on-line as well! Quote Link to comment
+explosis Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 I'll post a link to an online version once it comes out. Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 i just hope that rita and megan's love-letters don't somehow end up in the story. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 The article is in todays WSJ. Pretty fun to read. Although the author mentioned some guy named Ben Higgins rather than the Oregone who claimed to take her around caching Quote Link to comment

As far as I know, I've never taken a reporter geocaching. I did meet the Wall Street Journal reporter, but she didn't want anything to do with my hungover self and my bevy of potential explosis-girlfriends. I'll have to go look for that article, though. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment

+explosis Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 Thanks pdxmarathon. Here's a link to the article, not sure how long it will work: http://wsj.emailthis.clickability.com/et/emailThis?clickMap=viewThis&etMailToID=775068818 Quote Link to comment
John E Cache Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Good article. Since there is only one tree climbing cache it was easy to figure out who Mr Higgins is. See Feb 23 log on Tree Hugger: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=15249 Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Sorry about the moniker confusion guys. Cachers with over 200 finds are hard to tell apart I guess Quote Link to comment

+explosis Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 Yeah, good thing they didn't publish my geocaching name. Though I'm not sure about the 'Mr.' title. Quote Link to comment

+oregone Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 That story is one of the funniest geocaching articles i've ever read. Knowing explosis, i can totally picture everything she described in my head. How fitting that it was all on the day of the Girlfriends get-together. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
teamwsmf Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I wonder just how many Higgins's there are in the Pac NW geocaching? -tom higgins of team wsmf. ---------------------------- TeamWSMF@wsmf.org Quote Link to comment

teamwsmf Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 My kid is 7 and in a just a few weeks has 5 caches under her belt. 2 of those she found mostly with her own gps skill and an early jedi training regime.

+oregone Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 LaurenCat and Bellemanda tell me that i act like a 13-year-old. Does that count? all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+makaio Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 My daughter Delaney started at 7 mo and by her 2 year birthday next month will have about a dozen caches to her credit - granted she hasn't operated the GPS, but she's a pro at rifleing through those cache containers Quote Link to comment

+Seth! Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 No offense to the subject of the story (Mister explosis) but I thought that the article was pretty sucky. Luckily none of my friends reads that rag. Brain of a dog? Roll in manure? What the #@^%? I'm glad to hear that our Main Man is only 24, but as has been pointed out, there ARE kids out there geocaching. I wonder what happened to Andrea Peterson, who was originally doing the story for WSJ?
