+GatoRx Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Not a bad mention, although I wouldn't call it a 'summer sport.' ---- When in doubt, poke it with a stick. Quote Link to comment

+seneca Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 But are we really "geeks"? I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. Quote Link to comment

Is it something like tall grass?? george Wanna go for a ride? Quote Link to comment
+Woodbutcher68 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 The snow of which we speak is a white powder that melts in your hands, not in your nose. Ground and air need to be lower than 30 degrees F for it to stay around. Causes problems for some people in driving and walking. Of course the kind some people put in their noses has the same effect. If you should encounter the cold type, don't eat the yellow stuff. It's not a lemonade Sno-Cone. Maps?!? We don't need no stinking maps! We got coordinates! Quote Link to comment

+GrizzlyJohn Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 That really is pretty cool. I feel like I am part of something big. now when I try to explain this, i can just say hey it was in Time magazine. I hope the servers are ready for the next wave of people. Quote Link to comment
+pater47 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 That would be at least the third time geocaching.com has been mentioned in TIME in the last couple of years. I get the idea somebody of influence at TIME is a geocacher. Visit the Mississippi Geocaching Forum at http://pub98.ezboard.com/bgeocachingms Quote Link to comment
+smithdw Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I'm glad that the site is getting mentioned in more places. It's really cool that gc.com was in the Time article. Don't know about summer sport though. I go geocaching all year long. Having a few feet of snow really makes finding a lot harder though (actually almost impossible) and some areas you can't get to at all unless you have a snowmobile or snowcat.

+cmpalmer Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I think of it as a geek activity. But then again, if you think about it, geeky things don't have to be about thick glasses, pocket protectors, and computers. If you stretch the definition, mountain biking, scrapbooking, or whatever can develop a high geek factor. As for it being a summer sport, I just started and I've already decided its going to be an even better fall, winter, and spring sport. Summer here in North Alabama makes a quick trip into the woods more like a trek through the Amazon rainforest. I can wait for autumn to go after a few caches that I've chickened out on because of the jungle growth around them. Quote Link to comment
