I think it's pretty hypocritical and stinky IF the
Ranger guy is logging that caches as a "find" and then
removing them!! (I don't know if this is the case, just
my reaction) ie: Let him enforce the law, but don't log
a find!! :-)

<DIV>It's actually not surprising that the ranger who
is removing the caches
from National Park land is a cacher himself. It's
obviously how he thought
to look for them in the first place. It's
interesting how he "blew his
cover" here though. Snaptek guys, check to see if
he is a user of this
listserv.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My guess is that he's just trying to do his job as
he sees it, but if he
did know about this e-mail list it would have been
better for him to post a
tactful reminder to those with caches on Park land and
ask them to voluntarily
remove them. He could also have done so directly
by contacting the cache
owners through the main Web site. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It wouldn't hurt to make him aware of this
listserv and invite him to take
part in a discussion. Nobody here is so upset
that they would berate him
with obscenities (I don't think). Communication
almost always brings good
results. I doubt we'll get him to ignore the
law. Many here probably
don't want him to. But we all might feel better about
the situation after having
talked together.</DIV>

Jackson<BR><BR>What I find odd
about this is that it would appear that "Ranger51"
removed the cache and
logged it. They then deleted the log entry and
re-entered it as "Saguaro
Rangers" which is the same geocaching.com account
that they used for the cache
out in the East unit. If you look though the
logs for this cache you
will see that "Ranger51" had already logged this
cache as a find.
Infact, "Ranger51" is a fairly active cache hunter
here in Tucson.<BR><BR>I am
not saying that there appears to be any hypocrisy
but....<BR><BR> </DIV><BR>
