Thank you all so very much for all of the replies. I guess I'll just look elsewhere for a place to hide our Geocaches. There are so many amazing spots to hide Geocaches in our WMA's, which we're completely surrounded by. I can't understand why, when you can do so many other things in a WMA, you can't Geocache. Ugh! Luckily I'm in the northwest corner of Georgia, so I'm within a few minutes driving distance to Alabama or Tennessee. I think I'll check their WMA's, too. Thanks again for the help. You guys are fast!

Thanks for the quick replies. I think I'll drive over later and ask our local representative about it. Surely they DO allow it because there are so many caches already hidden there. I was teasing about hiding one anyway. I'd never do anything to get my rear kicked off of here. I'm enjoying it too much.

I'm new to Geocaching and only have 43 finds under my belt. Several of these finds have been in Wildlife Management Area's near my hometown in north Georgia, USA. My family and I just prepared our first Geocache to be hidden. I called my local Georgia Wildlife Resource Division (http://www.n-georgia.com/wildlife.htm#Region1) to obtain permission to hide, and the lady put me on hold and came back almost immediately and told me that Geocaches are not allowed in WMA's. ?!?! What?! Is she wrong? Have other people not been getting permission? I'm so disappointed. Thanks for any advice! Rachel

Thanks so much for the help, everyone. I had three other folks read the number to me just in case I was putting in the wrong number. They all read the numbers the same. There was a small note with the coin and it is signed by two people (who's names I can't find on geocaching.com). The note says, "Found 7 Jan 2009. Placed geocoin, take to another cache" There is no activation code so I guess we'll just take it to another place tomorrow without activating it. Right? Thanks! Rachel

Hi, my family and I joined as premium members on geocaching.com last night. Today we found a trackable coin but when we put in the identifying number from the coin it says that the coin isn't activated. Is it possible that I'm doing something wrong? Or is it possible that the person who purchased the coin forget to activate it? If that's the case is it ok if we activate it? Thanks so much! GeoFamily30728
