+bushwackin' schmo Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 If so, who are they? I'm talkin' real famous people. Quote Link to comment
CacheNCarryMA Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 The really famous people hire people to cache for them. Will Wheaton and Harrald the Late Show stagehand are the only ones I've seen mentioned here. And Erik Sherman (writer of geocaching books). Does he count as "famous"? Quote Link to comment
+bushwackin' schmo Posted April 15, 2005 Author Share Posted April 15, 2005 Will Wheaton? Ensign Crusher from star Trek? Quote Link to comment
+Greymane Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Will Wheaton? Ensign Crusher from star Trek? That would be the one! Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 If you do a forum search on "Wheaton" or on the words "celebrity" or "celebrities" you will find lots of threads. I would also call Jolly B Good "famous" and so do those prior threads. I wonder if the prior publicity turned Wil Wheaton into one of those ghostcachers who don't log online? Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Wink Martindale and Larry Storch are big geocachers. I understand that Jolly B. Goode is a semi popular cartoonist in real life. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Wink is a big fan of puzzle caches... that figures, given that he is a quiz show host... whereas Storch prefers virtuals. Interesting, both are famous but you couldn't find two people with more diametrically opposed approaches to geocaching. I guess that's one reason why the sport's so darn popular, you get to choose how you play it. Quote Link to comment
Lawcomic Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 That would explain why Storch no longer uses this site. Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 There are 634 virtuals in California alone. If Storch chose to geocide before finding them all -- and he most certainly didn't find them all -- well, that's his prerogative. Just because he couldn't get a 635th one listed doesn't take away from the experiences available to those who choose to seek the ones that *are* listed. Quote Link to comment

+wimseyguy Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I have fed some pretty famous people. I just haven't convinced them to go caching with me yet. Quote Link to comment
+cachew nut Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I would also call Jolly B Good "famous" and so do those prior threads. Being famous is overrated. I've spent some time talking with Jolly as we approached a series of caches from two separate directions. We had a nice chat somewhere in the middle. The conversation was about geocaching and was quite interesting. We didn't talk about work since that would be like talking shop. We continued geocaching that day knowing that we were both in for some interesting finds yet to come. Fame puts you there where things are hollow. Quote Link to comment

+BootyBuddies Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 You had me going with that Studod being Larry Storch. If we're talking the Larry Storch of F-Troop fame, then that isn't him! And Wil Wheaton found a few caches some time ago. It doesn't look like he has cached for awhile; can he still be called a cacher? Who's Jolly B Good? Quote Link to comment

CoyoteTrust Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Wellllll...... I hope to 'accidentally' be caching in the woods, where they're filming a movie near my town... I will 'accidentally' re-seek a cache I've found already, and hopefully 'accidentally' meet Sandra Bullock (who will be in the movie). Then I could purposely show her what caching is! Of course I would have to accidentally slip by the set security, too. Hmm. This cache is basically on the movie site. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...70-52bcf631ec06 They're building a house for the movie on this county-owned lake; cache is about 200meters behind the structure, if not closer.

We were in the Chicago Tribune once... http://www.chicagocanine.com/photos/TribunePicture.jpg (3-4 year old bad bad photo of me) Hmm I guess my dog is more famous than me though because she was also on Animal Planet (K9 to 5 tv show, she wasn't the focus but she WAS shown several times...)

+webscouter. Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I know of a Broadway star who caches. She is in the touring show for a production I saw this winter. She plays one of the leads. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) No, I don't think that they do. I have however heard a rumor that they do in fact pull their under drawers on the very same way that I do. That makes me feel very special. Just the thought that Jennifer Lopez squirms into her under drawers exactly as do I....makes me sweat. But wait!!! Do you suppose that Jennifer and I have magically shared the thrill of cramming our hands into the very same recycled peanut butter jar? My heart be still........I must excuse my self for a moment.

+carleenp Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 According to a Geocaher in my area someone from Motley Crue and Queensryche are Geocachers. Tommy Lee filmed in Nebraska for a reality show this past year about him going to college. I don't remember his name on cache logs (although the name would likely be something not recognized). If him though, I would be happy if he found one of my caches. I was not keen on the idea of the show when first advertised, but he apparently took it seriously, the producers assured not to make us all look overly silly, and he gave back to the community while here by meeting with local musicians and school kids etc. I ended up impressed. Of course the show is not released yet, so hopefully that won't change my impression when it is (it is slated for a summer run I think). Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 WOW!!! That Larry Storch, what a guy. I sure as heck fire hope that when I am 83 years old, that I can do 27 caches in a single day. Heckamadoodledingdonghell, I wish that I could do 27 in one day right now. Way to go Larry.....you go dude!!!! Quote Link to comment

MagicMeeko Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I used to 'dig' Charolette Chruch does that count as cacheing with her? Then again, Im just 22 ... so maybe.... Wink Martindale Geocaches? I wonder if he ever finds any Dragons. (Que Twangy 1980s pseudo synthesizer music) Not surprised that Wheaton caches. I never knew who he was. He made appearences on "The Screen Savers" a couple of times, so I knew his [for lack of a better word] 'geek' level was high. I wonder if they leave headshots or something as swag.

+Ladycacher Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 My personal experience with Geocaching and famous people. I went to Louisiana to meet my mother and brothers for the first time in my life in December last year. While there I got my brothers interested in Geocaching. So when we got a chance we headed out to a park in Zachary Louisiana. There we came accross a closed road with security standing by. We told him what we were doing and he let us by. Why he was there is because they were shooting the movie Dukes Of Hazard. They were using the road and park. The cache was 500ft away from Jessica Simpson and Jonny Knoxville. We seen the movie sets and everything it was so awesome. I wonder if they cached while on break? Heres one in the that park: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...ae-8bf25ddaeb66 Heres the other: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...01-18a60537442c So I got that close to Jessica Simpson and Jonny Knoxville. I still to this day LOVE that security guard for letting us go in and watching us hunt around while he stood there with this look on his face of total dis believe. But he liked the idea once we found the prize. Quote Link to comment
