I agree it is nice to see that there are rational minds among the =

on page 8 & 9. In this section of the newsletter Shelly apparently has =
formed her own little anti geocaching group that she calls "Stewards =

conflicts. I think she is a very poor representative for a program that =
has very honorable intentions and I do not understand her blatant hatred =
of our hobby. She states in her column that no geocaches have been =
removed which is not true. Shortly after the meeting with the land =
managers I archived two of my caches that were near archaeological sites =
. Shelly fails to mention this fact in the newsletter.=20

Jill,
Permit me to add my thanks for your post. It is comforting to know =
that we are not the objects of universal hostility among the Site =

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] RE: grrrrrrrrr more mis information from =

I just wanted to put in my two cents on this issue. I have been =
reading the messages regarding the article in the AZ Watch written by =
Shelly Rasmussen. I am a site steward and would like to say that she =
does not represent all site stewards, in fact, I think most site =
stewards disagree with her views. I do not geocache myself, but hope to =
in the near future. I am the regional coordinator for the Yuma Region =
and have an avid geocacher in my group. I also have a few sites with =
caches near them, but I have never had any trouble with vandalism at =
these sites. As a site steward our job is to monitor and carry out the =
wishes of the land managers, not be the police, judge, and jury =
regarding geocaching. As I understood it from speaking with Mary Estes, =
you had a productive meeting on September 27th, and had high hopes for =
future cooperation. I also understand that many landmanagers have no =
problem with geocaching, nor do they have policies against it. Please =
do not allow Ms. Rasmussen's comments to undo the good that has been =
done. I plan to speak to Mary Estes myself and ask her to no longer =
allow Ms. Rasmussen to publicly speak as if she was speaking for all =
site stewards. Hopefully this will put an end to this issue. Keep up =
the good work.
Sincerely,
Jill McCormick=20
