Seeking Geocachers To Be Interviewed

[JaneYoung]

Hello

 

My name is Jane Young and I am a writer working on an article for the Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, based in Toronto. I am doing a feature on geocaching for the Travel section, and I am looking several experienced geocachers who wouldn't mind being interviewed for this article. The article will be running towards the end of May.

 

Specifically, I am hoping to interview some people who:

 

--have been geocaching for awhile

--who have done alot of geocaching within Canada and also internationally

--are planning an upcoming trip and plan to include some geocaching as part of the vacation

--have some interesting stories to tell

 

If you meet this criteria, and you have some time to speak to me about your geocaching experiences and why you enjoy it, I would love to hear from you.

 

Please e-mail me at JYoung@GlobeandMail.ca and tell me a bit about your geocaching background and where you are located. Then I may try to arrange a time to interview you over the phone.

 

Hope to hear from some of you,

Jane

Maybe you could read the post above and do a story on why we can't place caches in our provincial parks in Ontario

 

It is called Parks Ontario thread

Not really sure I/We have any 'interesting' stories to tell, we've been actively caching for a about a year, the only place I plan to travel to is Indiana to spend time with Star and 'international' would have to be Canada/USA for us to qualify.

 

Maybe Hard Oiler would be a good choice?

Maybe a bit of positive press would help with the Provincial parks issue?

I have sent my contact information to Jane Young.

 

I have also invited her to join those that are able to attend the event cache at Cave Springs.

Does Purple Fever know about this? It sounds like he'd be a great person, he fits the bill I believe.

Thanks for the endorsement, Anne! Yes, I would be happy to help with this.... we started geocaching last February, and are still pretty active (I guess you could say 'very' active). We did quite a few caches in British Columbia last summer, including one at the top of Whistler. I also try to get as many as I can into my business trips - I have done a lot of caches in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Michigan (among other states) this year. Lisa and I are also going to Africa (Zambia) in June and hope to do some in London on our daytime stopover on the way there, as well as one at Victoria Falls.

 

I will send an e-mail in...

Jane, I hope you let us know when the article is published??

Though I haven't done a lot of geocaching since my first attempt a couple of years ago, I have recently jumped back in with both feet. I sent her an email inviting her to accompany me when I drop a TB in a cache in Toronto later this week when I'm there on business.

I have been caching awhile I would like to help out with the interview. I have some interesting stories to tell. Have not done much international caching. But when ever I go somewhere I like to find caches nearby where I am staying.

 

Let me know .
