Unfortunately, I suppose one mans litter is another mans treasure. I wonder if there's any official reference in the A.R.S. codes that might apply fairly literally to a geocache or related item. I wonder if the sticker that is being used is an official sticker or one that was made up by whoever is placing them. In my opinion, the sticker is far uglier than the "litter" it was replacing. It is being made to be seen while the geocache is usually hidden or camoflagued and generally not easily seen by the untrained eye..... Jim.
