Steve makes me wonder aloud how long the illegal caches in the area will stand before being archived, I know of several caches that have already been confiscated and/or removed. Then there is the one that as I see it that if the owner doesn't remove it will do more harm to this sport than any off trail hiking could ever.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Team Tierra Buena To: Arizona Geocaching Sent: Monday, April 28, 2003 10:15 PM Subject: [Az-Geocaching] McDowell Sonoran Preserve Policy Statement The City of Scottsdale has posted its policy prohibiting Geocaching in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve as the second article on this page: http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/preserve/currenttopics.asp. As far as I know, the Preserve joins the Bureau of Land Management (http://www.blm.gov:80/nhp/efoia/wo/fy02/im2002-017.html), Maricopa County Parks and Recreation (www.maricopa.gov/parks/news/), and the State Land Department (http://www.land.state.az.us/programs/natural/rec_offroad_permit.htm) as the only agencies in Arizona to have posted their Geocaching policies on the Web. If you know of any others, I'd appreciate hearing about them. Steve Team Tierra Buena
