Caching Article in Las Vegas Review Journal

[+creagerstonefamily]

Here is a story about geocaching in today's Las Vegas Review Journal.

 

I'm a little bitter about it because the reporter initially contacted me about going caching with a photographer, I mentioned our greatest local cacher, Dr. Webe, to him, and then he went out with him.

 

I didn't think it would be that big of a deal, but apparently, it's today's top story! Oh well, at least I get the first quote in the story.

This is the best article I have seen on Geocaching yet. For once the writer doesn't totally concentrate on the "treasure hunt" aspect and instead shines some light on why the sport has such a broad appeal.

 

I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.

If anyone has other news articles, I would appreciate the link, as I am designing a website and would like to reference some info.

 

Thanks

Jason,

 

I hate to burst your bubble but as far as I can tell, a guy by the name of Todd Spradlin has the first quote in the story. But hey, your the first Las Vegan that was quoted....

 

Great article nonetheless, and I especially like the photos.

Couldn't help but think of National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation...... and Eddy hiding caches around his yard. 40 in 18 months !

In Southern Nevada, there are about 300 caches. Some are in places as accessible as the New York-New York or The Orleans parking garages or locations in Sunset and Angel parks.

I must make a trip back to get the new one at the Orleans. I love that town!

I'm only guessing, but I'd bet (pardon the pun) that the majority of folks who frowned on the idea have probably never even been to Las Vegas. As anyone who's been there knows, there's a lot more to Las Vegas and its surrounding area than neon and one-armed-bandits (...although there's plenty of that too, if that's your pleasure ). I've visited Las Vegas twice over the past couple of years and can honestly say that I didn't do any gambling. Rather, I had no trouble filling my time with 'seeing the sights' and taking in a few shows (some of the most friendly cab drivers you'll find anywhere by the way). Next time I go (and there will be a next time), I plan to take in Hoover Dam and perhaps the Grand Canyon. It's a terrific area with something to offer everyone.
