I too am a ‘lurker’ on the forums BUT I must admit I am very upset over this issue. (Especially since I just learned about this and just this weekend placed a micro in Angle Mounds.) We will most likely buy our annual park pass this year but if this Bulletin is enforced in all parks with the same vigor as Charlestown SP, we will not be back. We too will take our state park pass buying, map purchasing, CITO, stopping for dinner locally money out of state.
My biggest fear is that local governments will get wind of this and implement it in city parks. I can just see financially strapped city park departments charging a fee for the permit to place a cache.
Enough for now, I’m off to write a letter to my State Congressman, State Senator and ‘That Guy Mitch’
