[Az-Geocaching] Caches in closed areas

[Jerry Nelson]

I've posted a note about the closures on my two National Forest cache
pages.  I can't think of a better way to do it, other than temporary
deactivation, but it's certainly a good idea to do something to warn
unsuspecting (maybe out-of-state) cachers.  I'll leave the notes for now
and wait for a concensus about the best way to do this.
