They used to call it the "Women's Section" before it became politically
incorrect.

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.
