Subject: [gpsstash] Second Thoughts
Greetings,
I've been having some second thoughts
about the GPS Stash Hunt project
especially since things have slowed down a
bit.
I'm thinking we got the right game but the wrong
name!
Reluctantly, I put on my spandex, buy some bottled water, and
load up my
walkman with Barbara Streisand and take a new look at stash
hunting....
It appears that the word Stash has some negative
connotations, maybe
illegal, maybe subversive, maybe just too related to
the hippies and drugs.
Doesn't seem to fit in todays spandex, natural, eco
tourist world we now
live in.
Hunt also has problems, it takes us
back to our hunter gather roots and
certainly doesn't relate to our
environmentalist, pro-sumer consumer reality
of today.
If the idea
is going to sell in todays market, it may need a name that
garners fuzzy
feelings of respect and admiration of our fragile environment.
Something
the do-gooder of today would be proud of. Something the school
teacher and
Boy Scout leader could have pride in teaching their children.
Something
that makes your wife "feel good" about you after a long day
of
searching.
So should we change the name? To what? Should we
change the game?
Second Thoughts?
Dave...
