MessageNo there's not another article, to my knowledge. My e-mail was a response to Dick, who is still steaming about the first article. -FroBro Q-Tip -----Original Message----- From: az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com [mailto:az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com]On Behalf Of trisha@brasher.com Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 11:53 AM To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] FW: FYI Is there another cache-bashing article coming out from the People's Republic of AZ newspaper?

One of my co-workers has a friend who works for the AZ Republic. He said that there are a few geocachers working for the newspaper who were unaware that Christine was going to write that article. When it hit the stands, they were ready to string her up at the nearest tree. Again, the source is two people removed, so take it for what it's worth. -FroBro Q-Tip -----Original Message----- From: az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com [mailto:az-geocaching-admin@listserv.azgeocaching.com]On Behalf Of Holmes, Richard Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 9:12 AM To: 'listserv@azgeocaching.com' Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] FW: FYI About a year ago there was a cache placed, I believe near a radio tower in Las Vegas The bomb squad took it out and blew it up. I figured I could count it as a find, as I think a peace of the log floated into my yard. I 'spose some one can find some fault with almost any cache, but I also strongly believe there are no malevolent cachers; except me. I'm still mad as hell about the Christine Leonard article.

They advised me that the information is being passed along by various bomb a technicians but it will take a bit of time for all of the bomb squads to become aware. My advice is if you use the ammo cans, or anything else that might be even remotely been interpreted as a possible bomb to clearly label it on the outside as a geocache. In my opinion clear tupperware type containers are the best in an urban environement. This allows the bomb technician, or anyone else, to visually examine the contente without having to break out the x-ray equipment or robots. Also think carefully about the placement of the cache. There is one in Tempe that is very near a school. Schools are very sensitive places and you are just asking for trouble by inviting people near them that give the outward appearance of loitering, or aimlessly wandering about. WhereRWee?

You may recall from my earlier messages that Mary is in charge of the Site Steward program. Steve Team Tierra Buena Hi Everyone Here is a short article that was in today's Salt Lake Tribune, a new slant on the hide and seek game?! We also saw this on the TV news last night. Juanita and Ray BOMB SQUAD CHECKS OUT SUSPICIOUS BOX The Salt Lake City bomb squad checked a suspicious World War I-type ammunition box at about 1550 W. 2300 North on Tuesday night. A technician at a nearby sewage treatment plant saw a man in a pickup drop the box at the side of the road at 8 p.m. After opening the box at 10:30 p.m., police found pictures of a dog and a wedding and a logbook. The box was left by someone who participates in "geocaching," a global scavenger hunt using global positioning systems to find items, said Detective Dwayne Baird. The box was left in a field near two oil refineries and the sewage plant. Police have yet to contact the person who left the box. Steve again: This was the entire story. I also found it online at http://www.sltrib.com/2002/sep/09112002/utah/5094.htm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching Arizona's Geocaching Resource http://www.azgeocaching.com
