MessageHere's a quick "a friend of a friend" story...
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.

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.

I have contacted the bomb technicians in Tempe and let them know about
our hobby. 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.

What's also interesting about the email below is that it was forwarded
to me by Mary Estes of the State Parks Department. You may recall from my
earlier messages that Mary is in charge of the Site Steward program.

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.

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.
