Headlines from the "Arizona Republic":
SCAVENGER HUNT THREATENS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES (8/7/2002)
PRESERVE OUT TO STOP 'GEOCACHING' -- GPS GAME ILLEGAL, CITY OFFICIALS SAY
(3/31/2003)
And this was BEFORE Geocaching became "popular".
I don't know that I've ever mentioned this here before, but in a move that I
can only describe as Orwellian, at some later time the "Repugnant" actually
changed the headline of the 2002 article in their online morgue to the
somewhat less-inflammatory "'GEOCOACHING' FUN BUT CAN HURT ARCHAEOLOGICAL
SITES". But the headline I quoted above is what appeared on Page One the day
it was published.
I wish the paper would ignore Geocaching altogether and concentrate on
reporting what they know best: spring training and what to do in San Diego
and Las Vegas.
