    a reminder that even when we know where we are, we still need to be careful.

    What a sad story for that family. My heart goes out especially to his wife.

    Very sad indeed. Just goes to show that you really do need to pay attention in this sport. I went digging for more info on this story, and found absolutely nothing, not even on the Washington State Geocaching Association’s forums. Nothing there even.

    The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

    Where's George? Stimulating the economy one EMS'ed dollar at a time.

    There is a lot of info on this. I saw it on the national forums and the Washington State forums. There is a link on the national forums. The cache was immediatly archieved and local cachers are being very sensitive to the cachers family in the tragedy and the cacher that hid the cache. As cache owners we can’t imagine how this would affect us in the sport. A true wake-up call.

    Very tragic. My heart goes out to the family. I can’t imagine being there when it happened.
    And that’s an interesting slant for the hider. I had never even given that a thought. That’s the sad thing about the situation, nobody comes out unscathed, even us as a community.

    Police say “you should always be careful when hiking near a cliff.” Thanks, officer. You’ve made the world a better place today.
