Hello!

We are looking for an experienced Geocacher in the DC area who would be comfortable being interviewed on camera about Geocaching. We work for Voice of America and are making a news package about this. We would interview you about the process and how Geocaching works, and would accompany you on a search for a cache. If you would like to do this, please contact us with a brief description about your own experiences with Geocaching and how you would describe it to us if you were on-camera.


Thanks for your help with this. We really appreciate it!
Sara and Casey.

Hello. I am a geocacher with 9 years of experience, a former college broadcaster (TV and radio), and a former volunteer producer of concert and stage play DVDs and audio CDs for H-B Woodlawn in Arlington VA. I ran a DJ service here in DC from 1979 to 1992 as a hobby. I was publicity Director of the Arlington County Fair for two years in the late 90s and appeared on camera on behalf of that organization.

My family is involved in geocaching; we just returned from a 9-day vacation during which we found 29 geocaches in West Virginia and Maryland. We also took a vacaton in May to see the solar eclipse in New Mexico; during that road trip, we found 24 geocaches in AR, OK, NM, AZ, UT, CO, KS, MO, IL, KY, and TN. Among other things, geocaching is a great way to break up a long road trip.

We have logged over 200 geocache finds in 9 years.

I used to develop computer systems for federal agencies, and one of those was for VOA in the early 90s. I worked onsite at VOA HQ for 2 years. Interesting place.
