I'm glad I wandered into the forums today, as this is a timely topic for me. I'm an occasional geocacher, and the Geographer / GIS Technician on a military base. Just the other day, I found out that there were two caches just over the border of our base. I'm attempting to work with the owners of the caches, and asking them to remove them for now. One of the caches was located about 50 feet over the boundary line. The owner was nice enough to go ahead and remove the cache. The other cache is located in an area of the base that we lease out to do farming. Someone that found the cache has been very vocal, telling me that I'm out of line for asking for it's removal. The land is owned by the base, and even if you don't recognize it (although the law does), it is still private property to the agriculatural interest. The arguement is that the boundary line is not demarcated, so therefore, we're out of luck. I haven't heard from the cache owner, to see if they would be willing to move the cache. I am certainly open to suggestion - if I was being mean, I would have asked our security forces to just remove the caches, and that be the end of it. But, I really am bending over backwards to be accommodating. I'd suggest if you're interested in having caches located on a base, you contact the Community Affairs / Community Liasion person on base. I'm sure the commanding officer of the base would probably refer you there anyway. You may have to do some explanation, but, it's an opportunity to discuss what Geocaching is, where you plan on doing it, and what it's purpose is. I've given both cache owners the contact information for the CA/CL officer on my base, in case they want to discuss it further. Unfortunately, in "atmosphere" that we're in, why be troublesome? Make things easy. Keep our guys in mind, and keep your own safety in mind.
