Times article in pdf format, August 2002

Anton Ninno and Jim Kuhl
Business applications for Global Positioning Satellite data have
skyrocketed, but ideas for recreational uses have been equally creative, if not
more so. Don't read this article if you aren't prepared to run right out and buy
a GPS receiver, or at the very least a topo map and a compass! Here's a great
activity to share with the grandkids, but you'll have to get out of the radio
shack ...
Addendum:
By the way, there's now a website with statistics for geocachers! You can
sort by states, cities, player's names, etc.
