+JoGPS Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Not really I got the short straw, all the other great folks involved in the project should get the credit, I was standing there doing nothing and someone said “hey you” come here, but thanks anyway Heeeee Heeeee……….JOE Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 It's always fun explaining caching to someone that's interested. In this case, there just happened be a couple of dudes holding cameras behind them. It really wasn't too nervewracking. A182Pilot and I weren't pretty enough for the face-to-face interviews: Sis and that JoGPS dude were the cachers that got that honor. Geralyn, the park admin that's done so much to promote geocaching locally, shared top billings with those two. Quote Link to comment
+Bartster Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 I look forward to seeing it. Quote Link to comment

robertlipe Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 For the first showing, we're up against Survivor, Friends, and the World Series. I think we can take them in the ratings war Let's hope this isn't "Must Flee TV" Quote Link to comment

+Murrcat Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I just finished watching Tennessee Crossroads. Great job Jogps, Sis, Robertlipe, and a182pilot. That was Tooooooo Coooooooooool! I'll be curious to see how many new geocachers start playing the game as a result of seeing that show. Sorry I missed the watching party at Applebee's, I found out about it too late. This is so much fun! Quote Link to comment
Max Cacher Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 It was a wounderful show, and the way the MTGC.org local geocaching group has advanced cacheing in the area shows here. I had met Joegps at an event meeting out of state and knew what he looked like but is was swell to put faces to names of three other prominent cachers in the area that I have be reviewing caches for. All of you please keep up the good work and thanks for being responsible and caring cachers. TG Quote Link to comment
+bitbrain Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Wouldn't you know it... The Memphis PBS station showed last week's episode. Darn it. Ah. I just saw Joe's listing of air times across the state. Looks like I'll be watching next week. :-) Quote Link to comment
+Gibbenator Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Anybody in the Memphis Area interested in meeting someplace to watch the episode? Say.. Fox & The Hound, next Thursday, 6:30? There must be a 'cacher nearby.... I smell DEET! Quote Link to comment

+CWL Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I watched it too. Great job! BTW: I recoreded it on my TiVo if anyone wants to see it that missed it. Let me know. Been there... Done that... Quote Link to comment
+thestosh Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 (edited) I watched it too. Great job! BTW: I recoreded it on my TiVo if anyone wants to see it that missed it. Let me know. Been there... Done that... I was driving back from an event cache and knew I would miss it. My mother was able to record it on VHS, but I have never got around to pulling it onto the computer. Would I be able to get a copy of it burned to CD, or pull it off an FTP site? Thanks, Edited February 16, 2004 by thestosh Quote Link to comment
+Hikenit Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Bummer! we don't get that program here in the nooga. Would have liked to seen it. Quote Link to comment
+sledgehampster Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 (edited) I have a copy on VHS if someone would like to borrow it. Could meet someone with it as I am currently underemployed! Here is the link for the online video of the show, takes a moment to load. BE PATIENT! http://tinyurl.com/36je2 Third one down. Edited February 17, 2004 by sledgehampster Quote Link to comment
