[Az-Geocaching] Mo' bettah caches!

[Bill Tomlinson]

Thank you.  I'm still uncertain on my first question.  This doesn't
match what is posted as placement guidelines on the official site.  Is
there any way for me to know what these "new rules" are without posting
a new cache and waiting for a reply.  It would be really helpful if the
posted guidelines match those that are being enforced.

Because as I explained to him but he failed to share, it is not the land
manager of that park that groundspeak is concerned with. It is the land
managers of other parks who look at cache placements when deciding if
they should allow any more in there area.

It is the land manager in Nebraska who has decided after seeing certain
areas in California that the best way to avoid the same is to ban all
caches from Nebraska. ... And I quote "Geocaches may not be placed in
the Pioneers Park Nature Center in the western portion of Pioneers Park,
the Sunken Gardens, ot the Antelope Park Rose Garden due to the
sensetive nature of the landscape in these areas."

So as I explained to graldrich and received a nice 'that was a great
explaination' email from him. Groundspeak made the guidelines to protect
its interests in ALL areas that people cache.

Just as people from Oregon and NY come cache and leave caches here, the
land managers of other places will check on other states.
