D-Day is Sunday, January 19, 2003. It's going to be a day trip, so
people can make whatever arrangements they deem necessary to meet in
Wellton Sunday morning. That doesn't preclude anyone from setting up
some camping around this, but Judi and I won't be able to participate,
so we ain't adding it to our To-Do List.

Someone (you could probably do a search on the list archive on the
azgeocaching.com web site) noted that you now have to go to the BLM
office in Phoenix or the Cabeza Prieta office in Ajo to see an
instructional video before you can fill out the application, but they
will process the application while you are there. There may have been
additional offices where you could do this, but I don't recall what or
where they were.

This is probably a good time to remind you that EACH ADULT visitor must
secure a permit (and presumably view the video). We're planning on going
to get the permits on Monday, 12/9, so we'll report on how it went here.
