I all for this one. I can show you examples that will make your stomach
turn. I'm friends with Pete Weinel who is the "Recreation Specialist" at
the Tonto main headquarters in Phoenix who would be a good person to
start talking to. I've done cleanup trips with other organizations and
the Tonto is always appreciative of these efforts. It would be good PR
for geocaching I'm sure. Let me know if you want to first decide on more
details such as time and location or if you want suggestions from them.
I'll can give Pete a call when you want to pursue this further.

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.
