Here is information that I received via e-mail today from a spokesperson of an another outdoor recreational club based in the Phoenix metropolitan area. It appears that most of our National Forest land is reopening this weekend, and we can now return to our favorite geocaching areas in the high country. It's time to reactivate those caches that we have temporarily disabled due to fire closures.
