I'm on the watch list for this cache and got this today. Anyone who deals
with the various gov't people about geocaching may be interested. I don't
know how big a deal it may be/become, but this isn't a good thing for
geocaching. A Park Ranger caught a geocacher, "ran his ID," and informed
him he couldn't have a geocache in the nat'l park without a permit. See
below fwd'd message for the actual post. I'm not trying to dime out the
finder or the hider. I just thought the event was worth noting for all of
us.

> Found it no problem, but when I closed it up a park ranger was standing
there. He informed me that you can't have a geocashe in the national park
without a permit. I thanked him for the info and tried to go on my way, but
he ran my ID, so I guess I am now on a on a list of some kind. Don't know if
it will still be there anymore.
