[Az-Geocaching] Mo' bettah caches!

[Gale]

See now this is what bugs us. We are penalized in this state because of what may happen in other states. This is why some think we need to have local control rather than one global place with sole control. I realize gc.com is looking out for everyone's best interest, by restricting things for us here, to avoid offending land managers in other states.

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.

Till a voice, as bad as Conscience, rang interminable changes
  On one everlasting Whisper day and night repeated -- so:
"Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
  "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"
