Subject: [Az-Geocaching] cache for trash
When out in the forest or dessert I seem to pick up a lot of trash. I bet you all do the same. If you don't shame on you! I am going to start posting in my logs just how much trash I picked up on my geocaching adventures into the great out doors. I bet if others do this we will start to get a better name for ourselves. Today I was in the Migus Mtn area and picked up 1 plastic shopping bag of trash and hauled it out. I seen about 15 other people in the 9 or 10 miles of dirt roads that I tooled around on today. If every one of those people where geocachers and picked up 1 bag of trash, could you imagine how nice the forest would be?
This is just a thought that could help out and make us all better people. Not to mention how much it would help the future of geocaching. If a forest official or anyone for that matter where to visit the site and see what geocachers are doing to help then I feel we would have more support.
The forest service also has an Adopt A Site program that I thought some of us could get involved in. I don't know all the rules to it but it sounds like a good way to meet other geocachers and get good publicity. If anyone is interested please check with your local forest officials to get further info. I think it would make a neat geocachers rendezvous.
Thanks
