The thoughts below are natural reactions. And if they come from a =
fellow cacher, can you imagine what someone who has never participated =
thinks if they read this thread. We must all look like a bunch of =
juveniles. =20
But caching is an extremely low impact hobby that can be enjoyed by =
whole families and solo participants alike. If public use of Forest =
land is allowed at all, I can think of almost nothing as land and people =
friendly as this. Of course National Forest managers have the right to =
manage. That's their job description. It just seems that there are a =
lot of more destructive economic and recreational activities that are, =
for some reason, allowed to continue.
Caching is fun. I enjoy it. I enjoy it a lot. I'm not damaging or =
destroying anything. I just hike. I like to hike. A cache along the =
way adds to the fun. If I'm not looking for it I would never see it. =
I'm not talking about designated wilderness areas. They need to be held =
to a higher standard.=20
It's silly, I know it. But darn it, it's FUN. It doesn't hurt =
anything.......(I'll continue this mumbling ramble on my own)

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Superstition Caches
I never in a million years I thought I would ever post again here but =
I've been following this thread and I'm getting nothing but a huge =
laugh! My gosh some of you sure do get your panties in a bunch over =
silly stuff. I realize I don't take this game nearly as serious as most =
and stats mean nothing to me but come on now - remove your caches, hide =
them somewhere else (or don't) and move on. Hiring lawyers, writing to =
your congress man, letters of apology - my goodness!!! Glad nobody has =
over-reacted. Seems pretty simple to me - just don't hide a cache in =
the Superstitions. You can still hike there if you want for crying out =
loud. =20
I know I'm not the most popular cacher out there - and I think I might =
actually be proud of that fact the more I read on here. Wholly Cow!
