Newspaper Type Publicity for Geocaching

[+4dingdongz]

A local newswriter is compiling information for an article in our newspaper. As I have been assisting him, I have been contacting local geocachers. Some of them are opposed to publicity for geocaching for some of the obvious reasons; trampled wooded areas, new geocachers jumping in and then not tending to their caches, non-geocacher interference etc... I understand this argument, but am not sure if I agree with it or not. Let's get some discussion going on this subject.

 

Remember: Stop, Look, and Listen

I think most first found out about this sport through the news. I did.

 

Go for it.

This topic was recently discussed at length in this thread. It's been beaten to death.

Yep the topic has been discussed before, but as this poster is new to the forums we can still answer his question.

I found out about caching from an article in a mag so I do not think it is a bad thing. After all you'd all be deprived of my sparkling personality otherwise. Wouldn't that just make you sad?

Like I said in the other thread. I found out about the sport by reading an article in a local paper. I see why some have a problem with over exposure, but It's not going to be a 'secret' forever. I don't think, at least I hope the sport will not suffer. And by the way BrianSnat, every time I look at your avitar I wanna gag. Thanks, it's invigorating.

 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Because now I am Lost.
