I thought the page seemed quite cache-friendly. Reading it, they actually have no policy (yet) towards geocaching.

BLM has much bigger fish to fry than us little cachers. The whole of the Ironwood National Forest is BLM, and is virtually unpatrolled. This is the area south of Casa Grande, including Table Top, the Sawtooths, the Silverbells, San Maniegos, and the Watermans.

This huge area is an avenue for thousands of illegal border crossers and dope smugglers. They drop tons of garbage and break new roads across the desert in their stolen vehicles, every day. And they are essentially unchecked.

So I can't see BLM worrying too much about a carefully placed ammo can. Or can I?

Sometimes, you fix the problems you can and leave the too-hard to fix ones be.

I am impressed, the rules that they have spelled out is what we should be doing any way. It beats the position of Maricopa County Parks.

It appears BLM is now requesting prospective hiders to contact them before placing a cache on BLM land. At least they’ve stopped short of requiring formal permits.

I like that the web page has a link to azgeocaching.com.
