I have been waiting for my Grand Canyon backpacking trip to place my first cache was not even thinking about the NPS restrictions until this came up.... doh. The virtual cache seems like an easy enough alternative though :) be on the lookout for a new VC in the GC in the near future. ----- Original Message ----- From: Baja Fleg Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 4:49 PM To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Subject: Re: [Az-Geocaching] Scratch and Cache archived Already done a few VC's here in Albuquerque. We have a couple of areas around town that beg to have a cache placed at them but are managed by the NPS. We have one VC planted at one now with another one planned as soon as we find a good way of doing it. A couple of my fellow Albuquerque geo's have gone ahead and just planted a cache in the NP's but one got removed, the other is still there. You would really think they would have something better to do then harass the people who pay their salaries. We have also planted two caches here in town that we ask people to cache in and trash out when they visit. Michael Team TJ ----Original Message Follows---- It might be horrible if we actually had a purpose for going to the parks, only stayed briefly and took trash out with us. We should bombard the national parts with virtual caches, of the type that you have to go take your picture with some unique landmark, or team TJ's idea of having a multistager that has anything but the first stage inside a park. National parks remind me a lot of home owner associations, you pay them money so that they can tell you what you can and can't do.
