Hello
My name is Jane Young and I am a writer working on an article for the Globe and Mail, Canada's national newspaper, based in Toronto. I am doing a feature on geocaching for the Travel section, and I am looking several experienced geocachers who wouldn't mind being interviewed for this article. Specifically, I am hoping to interview some people who: --have been geocaching for awhile --who have done alot of geocaching within Canada and also internationally --are planning an upcoming trip and plan to include some geocaching as part of the vacation --have some interesting stories to tell If you meet this criteria, and you have some time to speak to me about your geocaching experiences and why you enjoy it, I would love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at JYoung@GlobeandMail.ca and tell me a bit about your geocaching background and where you are located. The article will be running towards the end of May. Hope to hear from some of you, Jane |

Not really sure I/We have any 'interesting' stories to tell, we've been actively caching for a about a year, the only place I plan to travel to is Indiana to spend time with Star and 'international' would have to be Canada/USA for us to qualify.
Maybe Hard Oiler would be a good choice? Wulf |

You should try to get someone that has been to Iraq. There were zero caches there, but now thanks to Pres. Bush Iraqis can geocache!!!
Yeah, Anyway, I bet they have some really good stories. |

US Geocacher of the Year 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008  Group: Volunteers Posts: 33,194 Joined: 14-September 01 From: Morris County, NJ |
Actually she has over 5,000 finds. Its family (husband, wife and 1 kid I think), but the wife does most of the cache hunting and yes, she geocaches almost every day. |

Maybe you should talk to trippy1976. He's recently had an interesting experience with a Detroit news anchor. |

We have cached in Canada twice. Once near Petrolia and once around Windsor. We have met Canadian cachers in Michigan, and we will be caching in Holland this summer!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who e-mailed me and for all the helpful suggestions. I have contacted a few people to be interviewed.
I just found my first 2 caches last weekend and I am aiming to do a third this weekend. I will post a note to let everyone know when the article is running--should be approx. one month from now. Jane |
