+wcgreen Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 I've been asked to write a short (200 words) article about geocaching. It's for the newletter put out by the Univ. of Kentucky Arboretum, where I placed a cache. The newletter goes to Arboretum memebers, local garden clubs, etc. Given that not much can be said in 200 words, what would you include to introduce/explain geocaching to the general public? What would you not mention? wcgreen -- Wendy Chatley Green wcgreen55@hotmail.com Quote
+civilwarranger Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 That a common denominator of a geocacher is the love of the outdoors. Quote
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 When you go to new areas quite often you will be brought to something that just isn't in the guide books. This happened to us on Maui when we went to a couple of DononMaui caches. Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 Put in: Try to describe the thrill of the hunt. That a GPSr will only get you to the approximate area, and the cache will be hidden. When I've described geocaching, I've heard "sounds like hunting fish in a barrel." wrong... Leave out: Travel Bugs. I always get blank stares when I try to describe travel bugs in 30 seconds or less. Good luck with your article! x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- "Next time, instead of getting married, I think I'll just find a woman I don't like and buy her a house." Quote
solohiker Posted July 4, 2002 Posted July 4, 2002 Leave out the fact that no matter how useless the items you include in a geocache are, cashiers will always leave something of lesser value. On second thought, maybe you should include it. Quote
