I was waiting for them to post it so I because I didn’t want to steal their thunder, but I think we have some modest geocachers….
Today, July 27th, “Live at 5” on Channel 3 in Madison will be showcasing a Geocaching story. Boardmembers Mrs. WISearcher and Cachew spend sometime last week showing Steve Van Dinter of Channel 3 around some geocaches in Gov. Nelson State Park, North of Madison. After the interview and hunt, Steve was quoted as saying “I’m hooked”. I think it will be a 3 minute segment.
I will be recording the story for all of you outside of the Madison viewing area.
I can put a (low bandwidth) version on WGA, depending on what CacheCows might allow. I say this because I suspect it might be a popular download.
Here’s a thought: I would be willing to donate my time, DVD burner, and DVD-R’s to burn DVD’s of the story for anybody that might want a copy of our local “celebrities”
I’m wondering if the WGA board might want to receive a small donation for each DVD from interested WGA Members. (say, $2 or $3?) Perhaps they could be purchased at the upcoming picnic?Let me know if you are interested in a copy.
Congrats to Cachew and Mrs. WISearcher for a job well done!

Actually a website in China already has it for sale, right next to the Star Wars movie.
But maybe a laptop could be setup in the shelter at the picnic with the media being played in a loop … autograph table nearby.
Another thought, they come slow now-a-days…. http://www.channel3000.com/index.html
is the website for the station. They seem to put videos online there… is that another source?I know the guy that does the video DVD production for the show (if it’s still him). He does good work. Unfortunately, we’re not on speaking terms anymore, so I can’t cut a deal there.

A great piece! Well presented and informative. Thanks for showing us in a good light!
for only being a 3 minute piece it actually covered geocaching really well. better than the groundspeak DVD for sure. love to see how many logs those caches get after this!
Why not contact georadio ? This site seems to be asking for geocacher’s input all of the time.
No post of the video on Channel 3’s site yet…
Check out this Link to view the video.
http://www.veroeven.com/content/view/35/1/It is only 6MB (for a decent version), and if I start to approach using up my 75 GB of bandwidth per month, i’ll pull it.
Enjoy!
Mr. WISearcher
We have the GPS, now all we need is the tall ship!

not mac friendly…..[ ]
There are no shortcuts to any place worth goingIt is a .wmv file. I will tinker and see if I can convert or spit out a quicktime file., If you have the means, by all means go ahead and convert it, I’ll post it.
Thanks.
Great Job guys!
Wow, that was really cool and some great press!
I would love to get a DVD copy.
I just watched it on your website, (sorry about sucking up some of the bandwidth!) and it was FANTASTIC!!! Rhonda and John – you did a great job! (WTG on the CITO shirt! Gotta get that part of the message out somehow too!)
And the reporter did a nice job as well – I think he covered it well, and seemed excited about it too.
FYI – The Channel 3000 website can be V-E-R-Y slow to update over the weekend….
I’ll wave *hi* to all the visitors now!
