RE: [Az-Geocaching] New cache

I bet it was someone back east doing the approval and
they confused a National Forest with a National Park.

Since it's illegal to place caches on NPS land and
they actively remove them, I don't have a problem with
the refusal to list them. Jeremy is already having to
redo the waypoint system because it will anly allow
about 65,000 caches. If you want a cache on NPS land,
ask for permission then in the cache description,
mention that permission has been given, along with
verification info.
