+Alphatexana Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 New article on geocaching on Scientific American Magazine's website. Mark Clemens describes in his story his quest to find a cache in Lake George, NY. Quote
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Great article written by a cacher. Thanks for posting. Quote
+Halden Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 That was a very interesting read. Great explaination of the sensation of a first hunt and subsequent addicition. Quote
+Doc-Dean Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Good article, but only mentions the original 3 rules of geocaching.... How about the 241 new rules since then?? Quote
+Mastifflover Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 That's the trick, we lure them in having them believe it's fun then when they get hooked we throw all the new rules at them!! Quote
cwoper Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 All kidding aside...It's a great article.I rate it "C" for COOL.Thanks for showing it to me. Quote
+WildGooseChase Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Because roads and rivers are shown in different colors on this unit's display, I didn't have to worry about driving my car into a creek. Quote
ItchinToGoFishin Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 That's a great article. Good one to point wanna-be geocachers to. Quote
uperdooper Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 very good article. let's just hope he didn't spend too much time in the forums today. i hope he has a sense of humor. Quote
+briansnat Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 One of the better articles around. No mention of "buried treasure". Quote
+programmer64 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Not a bad article,always good to get good press it helps when trying to get permits,and permissions for placing caches. Quote
+The BeeGees Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 let's just hope he didn't spend too much time in the forums today. I think you can relax. I've never seen him participate in the forums and his account wasn't active today. But I did send him a link to this thread. Quote
+ChrisCindy Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I was almost hoping he would say: T-fish hook L- McToy SL Quote
+Imajika Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Has anyone found the Scientific American brain he left in the cache yet? Quote
+EScout Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Overall, a nice article. However, for a Scientific American article, we must issue a shame on you for the comment on the frequency being in the UHF range. Also, as an owner of both a current model Garmin and Magellan, I don't agree with his summary of the differences. But, for an article for the general non-caching public it is very good. Quote
+pnew Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 nice article... also did you noticed Garmin jumped at the chance with providing images for the article but you really don't see/hear Magellan much... One company knows whats up and it looks like the other needs a new marketing person... btw I own a Magellan... Quote
+mozartman Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I really liked this article! Nice to see it in SA! the only thing is, with 90 finds in two months, the author makes me feel like a geo-slacker! Quote
+briansnat Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 (edited) Has anyone found the Scientific American brain he left in the cache yet? It could still be there. I think this is the cache he referred to in the story and nobody mentions taking it. Edited January 15, 2004 by briansnat Quote
Hollywood John Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I wish I'd thought of looking to see if the article was online. I gave my SI copy to someone at work today because he was going camping with a bunch of Cub Sprouts this weekend. I always thought that this would be a good troup activity. Well, at least I had time to read the whole magazine. Quote
+Volwrath Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 He said there were ~50 new caches a week. Where did that number come from? Quote
+WalruZ Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I love the 2nd page. He took a co-worker and 4 gps's to go look for a cache. 4 GPSr's all at the same time. So they're tromping along, the two of them, with a GPS in each hand?!!? Whoa! I gotta go shopping! also... we followed the route by walking in the direction specified by the compass. uh. not quite. He also says that Geodetic Survey disks are copper. aren't they brass? <nitpick mode=off /> Quote
