Just so you are not taken by surprise
tomorrow when you look at your stats.. I have made a lot of my caches member
only today..... so if you have some on your to-do list do not delete the
waypoint since they will not be there
I will make them public again when this blows
over

Destruction of geological site(s?)
I found the newspaper article very one sided and blown
way
out of proportion. I think it was written with
the intent of
grabbing attention and selling papers
and not with the intent of
providing true and accurate
information.
It did not mention if any
of the archeologic sites
were open to the public such as Libby's Casa
Grande
Ruins cache or Ken's A Sign From The Past IV cache at
Sears-Kay
ruins near Seven Springs. If those are any
of the 18 caches at or
near archeologic sites, then
the article is blatently misleading.
There was no mention of the Cache-In, Trash-Out
program and the
good it has done at many cache sites.
One other thing that wasn't
mentioned is the fact that
there are numerous other sources of
information about
archeological sites that can be used by those
intent
on plundering. A quick search found the following
books
available at Amazon.com that most likely mention
remote sites.
1.
Ancient Treasures of the Southwest: A Guide to
Archeological Sites and
Museums in Arizona, Southern
Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, by Franklin
Folsom,
Mary Elting Folsom (Contributor), Rachel

2. Ancient Ruins of the Southwest: An
Archaeological

Melton

3. The Archaeology of Ancient Arizona by
James
Jefferson Reid, Stephanie Whittlesey, Jefferson Reid
And
finally, there are companies that provide tours of
Arizona's backcountry
and point out such sites.
