<div>This substantiates what I have said that I don't think it is an
agency.</div>
<div>1. If they are getting the information off of geocaching.com
then the owners name would be listed and they could contact that person
via e-mail through geocaching.com to inform them of any problem.</div>
<div>2. Why would an agency be concerned with a "nano" that anyone
not in the loop would even find or see.</div>
<div>3. The approval for expenses printing the labels would have to
come out of some department budget and things being as tight as they
are I don't think this would be a priority.</div>

Re: [Az-Geocaching] Another cache bites the dust</div>
<div><br>
</div>
In the early days of geocaching down here in Tucson, several geocaches
were <br>
placed in the National Parks around town before we all understood the
NPS <br>
rules regarding caches and a park ranger who was also a geocacher and
had <br>
visited many caches in the area was presumably "put in charge" to
remove any <br>
caches that violated the NPS rules. I had the impression that the
ranger was <br>
given the task by superiors. So I wouldn't rule out an agency taking
the <br>
trouble to remove geocaches.<br>
<br>
BTW, I had a geocache down here at the base of Cat Mountain off of Ajo
road <br>
which was on a side trail off the main trail from Sarasota Blvd. The
trail <br>
had been maintained not long before one of my visits to the cache, so I
felt <br>
that it was placed in an area that met all requirements. So a week or
two <br>
after my last visit, I got an e-mail from a city police officer who was
in <br>
charge of the Tucson Mountain Park area saying that he had my
geocache. It <br>
turns out that the trail I had found was a "wildcat trail" that he had
been <br>
trying to close to preserve the area and someone had been maintaining
the <br>
trail against his wishes. He placed a trail closed post were it left
the <br>
main trail with his business card attached. I was happy to cooperate
with <br>
him and he was very geocache friendly, offering to check out possible <br>
placement sites in the area and in fact, I replaced the cache (with a
new <br>
name) less than half a mile away not far off the main trail where it
still <br>
sits today. So agencies will do what they need to and generally are
friendly <br>
to work with (with a few notable exceptions), especially if you follow
the <br>
rules and if you talk with them when in doubt.<br>
