I agree.  This is the front page of the AZ Republic today, and
I was told geocaching was also a topic on NPR this morning,
although I can't find any reference on their website.

I am considering archiving or making some of my caches 
members only until some of this blows over. I would, as
always welcome new members, but unlike the Tribune article,
am not sure that is what will occur with this negative
portrayl in the Republic.

Front page news on the Arizona Republic. You can read
it on the web at
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0807cache07.html

Lake Pleasant and the White Tanks are the areas named.
The article seemed short on proof that geocachers were
responsible. 

I think that we're about to see a number of government
agencies pull caches that they didn't know exists or
knew about but didn't care about. I also think that
the addage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" is
going to generate a ton of geocaching activity this
weekend and next from new cachers.
