+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Team GPSaxophone was featured on the front page of this afternoon's edition of the Albuquerque Tribune. Click here for the story. I'm not sure how long the link will be good, so I'll put the text on my website in a few days. Quote Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 I've added the text to my website. You can view it here I made a couple of slight modifications, such as Jessica is 4 not 5 as mentioned in the original article. Overall, I thought it was very well written and puts a positive spin on Geocaching in Albuquerque (and Geocaching in general). We hiked about 1.6 miles round trip on 3 caches last week with the reporter and photographer. The photographer had a lot of fun chasing the kids down the trail. I'll scan the two pictures in later and add them to the website. I'll also check with the paper to see if I can get copies of the originals. Thanks for the positive comments! Quote Link to comment
+GIDEON-X Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 GOOD ARTICLE *** We as a "Family" need all the positive PRESS we can get Mzee ~~~ "And now where" Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaoss Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Very nice article. Thanks for sharing. Two roads diverged in the woods and I, I took the one less traveled, and that is how I found the cache. Quote Link to comment
+erik88l-r Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 This was a nice morning read after all the negative news in my morning paper! Thanks for sharing it with us. Would have liked to have seen the photos too. The article is still on the newspaper link, but I saw no photos. ~erik~ Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 One of the best portrayals of our activity that I've seen. You must have done a good job in explaining everything to the reporter, plus the reporter knows how to write. It was cool reading about your Intel travel bug, which I just moved for you across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Scranton. Hopefully he will get to an Intel facility in the northeast sometime soon. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x Some mornings, it just doesn't pay to chew through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 Unfortunately, the online version does not have pictures. I'll post them when I get copies made and scanned in. Leprechauns, thanks for moving my TB. I was surprised it was mentioned in the paper. I guess it's because we found a TB at a cache, so I told her about my TB. She did quite a bit of research including finding out where my TB was. BTW, there is an Intel site in Massachusetts. Quote Link to comment
+TeamVE Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Good luck with your Intel Bug... If he every comes my way, I might be able to get him IN an Intel facility.... I'm just hoping that my Cleanroom Bug resurfaces (last seen in the tip of Nevada, taken by non-logging cacher(s?) the LSTroopers (and/or the Labhunters)... ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- "The number you have reached is imaginary, please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again... <beeeeep>" Quote Link to comment
+cachew nut Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I thought the first cache was hidden by someone else. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 quote:Originally posted by cachew nut:I thought the first cache was hidden by someone else. I suppose you are right. The Geocaching Credits page lists Mike Teague as the first to FIND the container. I had always heard it as he was the one to hide it. I'm not sure if I gave the reporter his name or if she looked it up herself. She did some good research for the article, this was one of the very few mistakes in it. She also spoke with a couple of other cachers in the area. Quote Link to comment
weRlostNDwoods Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 We enjoyed the article! Looking forward to seeing the pics! Thanks! Happy Hunting! Quote Link to comment
geoStrider Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Great article, thanks for sharing it. This was an excellent treatment of our game, and just the kind of positive PR that we need. Good job!

bug and snake Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Probably the best writeup on the subject I ever saw in the press. Obviously you did a great job as a spokesman. Very well done. Only nuts eat squirrels, Snake Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 I took a picture of the front page of the paper. I'll be getting a better copy from their office soon (I hope) My website Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
