There was a nice piece about geocaching in the May/June issue of Wisconsin Trails Magazine by Jerry Luterman. He makes mention of it too in his Mar. 11 blog at http://www.wisconsintrails.com/content/117.php

Thanks for posting this topic bartrod. I had been meaning to do the same since the Wisconsin Trails issue arrived in the mail.

The article “Stash the Cache!” (pgs 40-41) written by Michael Brie, offers a nice overview of geocaching.

And, it features some nice quotes by (our very own) Becky Waldmann, president of the Wisconsin Geocaching Assoication along with some from members of the UW-Stevens Point Geocaching Club and others.

Also, nice to have included in the article is mention of the need for the WDNR notification form for hiding a cache.

(There is also a video on geocaching on wisconsintrails.com click on Multimedia”)

Props to all for taking the time and effort to help bring this story to the readers of Wisconsin Trails magazine.

As ‘they say’ “You can’t buy PR like this!”

Blast from the past… 5 years ago
Wisconsin Trails Magazine June 2004 has a geocaching article on page 52 for those that wish to see a picture of our board members back then.. (Yawningdog is the only one that didn’t hide behind a cap) My hour and a half ‘interview’ for that article was summed up in one line… still ticks me off to this day.. All it did was focus on my counts.. I guess my babbling of how safe it was for a female soloist to travel around the States feeling safe.. because other geocachers provide great places to go.. didn’t make great headlines..

If you ever see a Yawningdog on the trails realize that he is SOMEONE in the sport… teaming with him at an event (May 17th 2003) was one of my special memories.. So ignore his count and realize how his passion for Adventures and his caches always made a great mentoring tool for those of us that came after him…

Preaching to the choir Lil Otter. Yawningdog’s caches are always classics. We’ve had a great time finding some of his in the far-flung corners of the state. Isn’t Door County Challenge his?

Every yawningdog cache we’ve ever done is a true favorite.
