If you plan to interview Captain Ozone, good luck! He has no address or phone number. He camps out in the woods and only checks his e-mails once in a blue moon through the public library system. During my quest for an interview, I contacted several sources, including Environmental Media Northwest, until the Captain finally contacted me via e-mail. The executive director of Environmental Media Northwest actually had me blindfolded and we drove to Captain Ozone's secret campsite. |

Once at the campsite, my blindfold was removed. I expected to see a man in a super-hero costume. Instead, I met a plain-clothed man wearing a hat, sunglasses, and an obviously fake beard. The campsite was cluttered with vintage electronics, including a two-way shortwave radio. A small hydrogen fuel cell was powering the vintage equipment. The encampment was surrounded by giant old-growth trees, if that's any clue to our whereabouts... |

| Captian Ozone: | "Hello Vanessa. I'm Captain Will Ozone." |
| Vanessa: | "Hello there. So why aren't you wearing your super-hero costume?" |
| Captain Ozone: | "It takes almost a half an hour for me to suit up in that costume. It only takes a few seconds for me to put on this cheap disguise." |
| Vanessa: | "I understand...but I went through a bunch of malarkey to get here, and I brought my camera all this way..." |
| Captain Ozone: | "I'm sorry about all the malarkey, but consider yourself lucky. I rarely do personal interviews. If I do interviews at all, it's usually through e-mails." |
| Vanessa: | "Then why did you let me come here in person?" |
| Captain Ozone: | "Because you were very persistent in trying to track me down. I also saw your photo in your e-mails. You look like a very intelligent and attractive young lady." |
| Vanessa: | "Thank you. Can I take pictures of you in your cheap disguise?" |
| Captain Ozone: | "You certainly may." |
