Just played it as a matter of fact. A nice segment featuring the Ecorangers and Auntienae, plus someone at the end who I couldn't identify, but could certainly identify with. |

I agree, nice segment. Don't know about that last bit with the guy in the still photo, however. |

I do not know ..
I did give them the lead on REI and GPS units.
I will contact Brad Hicks to see if he will tell me tomorrow. |

I think he starred in that movie "50 First Dates". The plot is something like this: guy takes girl geocaching on first date, guy doesn't get a second date (I wonder why?), repeat 49 more times with a different girl. Of course, once in great while it works but that is not shown.
In any case, it added nothing to the news story and the guy looked like a stalker. |

I believe the movie you are thinking of is "20 Dates". "50 First Dates" is that Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore amnesia movie. I don't have a copy of the still, but the picture I have of the 20 Dates guy doesn't look all that much like the one in the picture. Didn't see the movie, however. |

Nice story, and unusually long for TV news.
The guy in the still photo is a real geocacher that was featured in a syndicated news story maybe a year or more ago on Fox 6, but it wasn't shot in Milwaukee. I think it was New York, but I don't remember for sure. |
