Hey all,

Still out in Washington, not caching much but checked my email. Anyone else heard from Jeff Wheeler? Apparently he's a photojournalist from the Star Tribune looking for cachers to tag along with and take some photos.

Here's the message I got

I might be able to do this... I am familiar with several of the Strib's reporters and photographers from the Mars event last year. Does anyone know of any reason that I might not want to contact this person... just being cautious before I volunteer...

I'd just be extremely careful as to what you say.......

If you talk about weird things you see or heard of....they will "spin" it....

Such as walking up on a "squatter" in the middle of the night, or finding porn in a tree, or bushwacking etc....anything that makes it looks bad is good for press.....

Ask KB and Centris about there last article.

I don't think you need to be as worried with "jeff wheeler" as I believe he is a photographer vs. a writer.

I got an e-mail back from Mr. Wheeler already. He's tied up with Twins playoff coverage, so it might be a few weeks before he can get to a story on geocaching.

Lotta response here. I sent an email back to him too and said I'd be happy to have him along on a cache or two. I'm sure there'll be tons of willing people. Good idea Kitch on the info we give em.

Look.....Anybody can read the threads here....

I'm just saying that things can be printed even if you just said it "jokingly"...

Such as , "If heard that somebody once did........"

Then all of a sudden you got bad press. Then you get government involved.
