If you didn't see the article in this morning's "Republic" about the
trash problem in Tonto National Forest, you can read it here:

I'd like your thoughts on an idea I've been thinking about that fits in
with this story. What about holding an event cache somewhere in Tonto,
the objective of which (other than the social) would be to do a group
cleanup of an area that needs it?
 
I was originally thinking that we'd "just do it", but in light of the
article I wonder if we shouldn't contact one of the NFS personnel named
in the story, let them know what we're doing (and when and where).
Perhaps we could even persuade someone to plant a traditional cache near
the event cache, which then might be archived after the event. Not only
would that provide additional incentive for people to show up, but if
the NFS folks showed up we could show them what a cache is and is not.
Maybe we could even offer the NFS people the opportunity to request
where we'd do the cleanup.
 
I'm open to any comments. TIA.
