[Az-Geocaching] An important security message and more

[listserv@azgeocaching.com]

Especially with the heightened Security Status, I am not at all
surprised about this. "Orange", one level below "Red" carries ALOT of
extra and specific security measures at all kinds of places that I
never even thought of until I was watching CNN and stuff. "Red" alert
will amount to a virtual lock-down of all government facilities,
borders, transportation, etc. We all need to be very aware of OUR OWN
actions (which may seem suspicious to others) as well as watching for
suspicious activities of others.

On a much lighter note, my husband and I just finished the first
"phase" of a website for the Jeep Posse. If you are curious about it,
visit www.ycjp.org and check it out! We will be building the site more
in the future. Our Posse has a bi-monthly newsletter for which I write
a geocaching column!

We just found a nice cache Home Run Country, which apparently had a
lot of visitors today. When we arrived, a very concerned security
guard met us and asked us what we were doing. We explained geocaching
and he seemed fine with it however he adamently explained how the
fence of the water treatment facility was considered off-limits. The
cache was placed on the back of a no trespassing sign on the fence. He
asked us to remove the cache and let others know that we cannot place
any caches on their fence especially in the light of today's
heightened security. It seems that the previous few cachers who were
talking by the fence after caching brought out the Mesa police
helicopter, according to the security guard. (And you know who you
are.) We know we are harmless, but you should have seen how nervous
this security guard was. We removed the cache and apologized profusely
for the cache placement. He was fine with that as long as we let other!
 cachers know. Please don't place anything on a fence when there are
no trespassing signs, especially if it is something as security
conscious like a water treatment facility.Add photos to your messages
