understanding was/is forest service land is ok, as long as it isn't a wilderness
area. Has that changed? There are tons of caches in FS managed
land...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656233304-06072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone...I
wanted to share this story with ya'all....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=656233304-06072006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=656233304-06072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I went to REI this
past weekend for a problem with my GPS. As the guy was helping me, he
shared his viewpoint on geocaching. He said that he goes out on public
lands a lot and anytime he sees a cache there, he throws it away. My
first thought was shock and alarm! I went home and looked up the
official rules, and he's right. They are not supposed to be on forest
service land, state land, etc. However, somehow this message is not
getting out to everyone who places caches. I told him that it would be
better if he contacted the owner and let them know that he was removing their
cache because it didn't follow the guidelines and he blew me off and said that
they know it's not supposed to be there. Rather than have him sabbotage
my GPS ;0) I just let that go and finished the troubleshooting and left.
It disturbed me that he would do such a thing, though. I just thought I
would bring it up to see if anyone has any thoughts on what people should do
if they find a cache on public lands that shouldn't be there.
Thanks!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
