[Az-Geocaching] trust land permits

[eric]

Teams AZJAMMIN, THE_FAMILY, and WUZZLES went on a cache trip saturday on 
the East side of I-17 at Table Mesa Road.  We arrived at the frist cache 
location "Lucky 4's"  and were approached by a man heading a hiking 
group.   did not get his name, anyway he proceeded to harrass us about 
geocaching and archeological areas, apparently this cache is near some 
sort of  archeological site.... and then he questioned us about our 
being there without a Trust land permit... we were unaware of the area 
being trust land... nothing mentioned about it on the cache pages for 
that area.... and we saw no signs stating Trust Land areas...after he 
left with his group of non- geocaching hikers we proceeded to find the 
cache... and then went on east to the tonto forest area (over some 
incredibly rought s roads! )and passed back through later on the way 
out  to find the other caches around that area.  Two out of seven caches 
in this area were missing... we speculated that perhaps they had been 
removed by some anti-geocaching group..... could be wrong but what a 
coincidence eh?

so the questions begins... shouldn't there be a better way to determine 
land ownership? is there a good website or some sort of free map 
available?  can a Trust Land Permit be obtained over the phone or internet?

anyone know anything about this???
Thanks for any input....
