It looks likes the most common problem is unauthorised traditional cashe placements. Let me share one with you. A fellow Ranger for a South Carolina Park attended my class last year at the North Carolina Park Ranger Training Institute. After the class,he asked me to help him figure out what he had in his park. We discovered a cache that had been placed in a "Stay on the Trail" area. A cacher had buried his dog (slightly illegal) in this area, placed a grave marker and made it a virtual cache. The cacher was ticketed for illegal disposal of a carcus and leaving the trail in a restricted area causing damage to a sensitive environment. He also had to remove his dog.

Thank you so much for sharing your policies and applications with me. Now, tell me about the policy violations you have experienced and how they were handeled. I will be teaching a class at the North Carolina Park Ranger Training Institute on developing a policy and an application. We will also be discussing how to handle policy violaters. Please share your stories. Thanks again, Rangerkim

I will be teaching a class to Park Rangers from all over the country on developing a Geocache program for their park departments, at the North Carolina Park Ranger Training Institute in Jan 2006. I am looking for other park departments to share their policies and procedures for enforcing them. The more examples I have the better I will be able to encourage other departments to welcome our sport into their Parks. Thank you for your help Rangerkim@aol.com
