This was actually brought up with the New Mexico geocachers the other day.  
It ended up coming down to temporarily deactivating the caches until the 
areas reopen.

With all the discussion of closing areas due to the fire restrictions, I am 
not meaning to get into a debate on whether
or not they should be completely closed.  The point that I would like to 
bring up, what are we going to do as owners of
caches, to inform our community that a cache is in a closed area.  We could 
handle it as a post or a note in the cache
page that states it is currently in a closed area and is inaccessible, or do 
we temporarily deactivate the caches until
the area is re-opened.  I just think there are enough new people in this 
game that might not know if the location is on
National Forest, or in the case of multistage caches some or all might be in 
closed areas.

In short how are we going to handle this situation to save ourselves a lot 
or wasted time and energy?
