Jill,
Permit me to add my thanks for your post. It is comforting to know that
we are not the objects of universal hostility among the Site Stewards.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] RE: grrrrrrrrr more mis information from the
site stewards
I just wanted to put in my two cents on this issue. I have been reading
the messages regarding the article in the AZ Watch written by Shelly
Rasmussen. I am a site steward and would like to say that she does not
represent all site stewards, in fact, I think most site stewards
disagree with her views. I do not geocache myself, but hope to in the
near future. I am the regional coordinator for the Yuma Region and have
an avid geocacher in my group. I also have a few sites with caches near
them, but I have never had any trouble with vandalism at these sites.
As a site steward our job is to monitor and carry out the wishes of the
land managers, not be the police, judge, and jury regarding geocaching.
As I understood it from speaking with Mary Estes, you had a productive
meeting on September 27th, and had high hopes for future cooperation. I
also understand that many landmanagers have no problem with geocaching,
nor do they have policies against it. Please do not allow Ms.
Rasmussen's comments to undo the good that has been done. I plan to
speak to Mary Estes myself and ask her to no longer allow Ms. Rasmussen
to publicly speak as if she was speaking for all site stewards.
Hopefully this will put an end to this issue. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Jill McCormick
Regional Coordinator Yuma-Quartzsite
