[GeoStL] Re: Geocaching at Mark Twain Lake

I'm glad to see my efforts may be paying off, I'd love to see caching  finally 
"cache" on in the Quincy/Hannibal area!  ;-)

I have mentioned this before, but  I contacted the Corps Of Engineers @ Mark 
Twain Lake  a few months ago about placing caches on their land & they were  
open to the idea, but said that they needed to write a policy regarding it 
before they would allow it. They have been very friendly through out the 
process & now the policy is complete.
I have one new cache over there with plans for several more along a  pretty 
tough 8 mile hiking trail as soon as the weather cools off a bit.

On Monday, I had a call on my answering maching from a reporter at the Quincy 
Herald Whig wanting me to call her regarding geocaching at the lake. She said 
the COE had contacted her & given her my name. I assumed she would want to get 
together for an interview, but she simply asked me a couple of questions over 
the phone. the interview only lasted a few minutes so I wasn't able to really 
give her a lot of info, However, I did mention SLAGA and the Jeep TB's. :-)  I 
offered to take her out and let her experience caching for herself, but she 
said she'd have to see what her supervisors wanted to do. 

She called me back today & wants me to meet with one of the photographers (not 
her) tomorrow night. I'm going to take him or her  out to my Serenity cache & 
hopefully get them to find it.

I don't know how informative the story will be, but at least it's something. I 
contacted the media, both news paper and tv new a year or so ago, but got no 
response.
