    Geocaching names & team names.

    My name comes from my dog Rusty, who as you can see by my avatar is a miniature dachshund, he in turn got his name from Rusty Wallace, ok I like Nascar about as much as anything, so that is how Rusty, got his name, and I got my geocaching name.

    Plus I wouldn't mind going to a get together and everyone calling me Rusty, you get used to it.

    I want your opinions on what you think the ratio of hidden to found....

    in Website

    I have thought about this subject for a long time, as I have seen people that have found 2 and hidden 10 or found 30 and hidden 35.

     

    My personal opinion or at least what I was trying to do when I started hiding caches was hide one every couple of months, but now I just kinda hide one when I feel like it, which here lately hasn't been very often since I have been spending time finding, and keeping the caches I have up and running.

    I was just wondering if the new state park policy has taken effect yet? I was planning on a new cache in a park before too long, and was just wondering if anyone had any info as to how this was all working.

    Thanks,

    Rusty

    I was just wondering what the plans were for getting the state map pages back online showing the finds you have found? I read somewhere where that feature was being updated but thats the last I heard.

    Thanks,

    I was looking for caches further into TN than Memphis. Since I am in Texarkana and have family in Central Arkansas I am planning a trip over across the river once it warms up some.

    Thanks though, I appreciate it and I will add these to my list of must hits when I head that way.

    Thanks,

    I was wondering if anyone was in or around Cisternia,Italy. I am trying to find someone there who could help me log the Sisters Cache GC4226. You would also be able to log the cache.

    Thanks,

    Let the caching OFFICIALLY begin.......

    Wow its great, I just knew it was going to be one of those political things, but the people on the commision, at least for the most part, were really pro-geocaching. I think the turn out really caught them by surprise. As we were leaving I did hear one funny comment. People were talking about National Forrest lands and his comment was " My dadgum jeep doesn't hurt their land anymore than their vehicles do." I thought that was rather amusing.

     

    Cya on the trails,

    There will be a public hearing on the new Parks directive 3220 on

    January 16, 2003 at 10:30 a.m.

    The location is:

     

    Arkansas Hospitality Association

    603 Pulaski Street

    Little Rock, AR

     

    Prior to the meeting public comments will be accepted. Comments should

    be mailed to:

     

    Director of Arkansas State Parks

    One Capitol Mall

    Little Rock, AR 72201

     

    Verbal comments can be made by calling 501/682-7743.

     

    A Legal Notice is currently posted in Newspapers.

     

    Some of the highlights of Directive 3220:

     

    Caches require a permit. Exact location of the cache must be approved by

    the park supervisor and included on the permit. Any websites that list

    the cache must be included on the permit.

     

    The permit is valid four four months. Cache must be removed in four

    months and removed from any websites.

     

    The cache container must be clear.

     

    Nothing hazardous in caches, no food.

     

    Caches are subject to random inspection.

     

    Caches are not permitted in locations that will cause spur trails.

     

    No caches in park buildings or structures.

     

    There is some more official jargon, but that is about it.

     

    A copy of the directive is available at the Administrative office of any

    Arkansas State Park or Museum.

     

    It is titled Geocaching - Arkansas State Parks and Museums, Park

    Directive 3220.

     

    Dated November 5, 2002.

    WoW, finally someone from Arkansas posts their opinion.

    Some of the things that are on the list I think are ok, some I totally disagree with. Cache in clear plastic containers, random inspection by park supervisors (What if they consider something they might want out of the cache inappropriate just so they can confiscate it for themselves, not saying they would, just a question) Also why do we need permits and they only last for 4 months, thats not near enough time.

     

    Come on I know there are more Arkansas Geocachers out there, I would be interested in your opinions.

    Also I heard there was going to be a public hearing on Jan 16th, any Arkansas Geocachers going? I am going to do my best to make it.

     

    Merry Christmas,

    Rusty

    Ok, so I got my Copy/Paste skills sharpened a little.

    GEOCACHING PROCEDURES

    ARKANSAS STATE PARKS AND MUSEUMS

     

    CACHE PERMITS:

    A. Placement of a cache on Department property must be secured with a permit.

    B. The person applying for a permit must provide a valid address, telephone number, email address, vehicle license number and the website address on which the cache will be posted.

    C. The exact location of the cache must be pre-approved by the Park Superintendent/ Museum Director, whose main concern will be public safety and the prevention of undesirable impacts to natural and cultural resources.

    D. The exact cache location, including GPS coordinates, must be stated on the permit.

    E. All permits will be in effect for a period of four (4) months. The exact starting and ending dates will be recorded on the permit.

     

    Note: If, during the four (4) month effective period of a permit, a permit holder wants to change the location of the cache, a new permit must be issued and the effective permit cancelled.

     

    F. Upon expiration of a permit, the permit holder is responsible for removing the cache and for removing the cache location from all websites and any information source.

     

    G. If the permit holder fails to remove the cache, it will be removed by park staff and held for ten (10) days, after which staff will dispose of the cache. Confiscation and disposal by park staff will be recorded in an incident report.

     

    CACHE CONTAINERS AND CONTENTS:

    A. Cache containers must be non-breakable, transparent and have some form of latch or other closing mechanism to prohibit content exposure to wildlife.

    B. Caches may not contain inappropriate or dangerous items. Such items include, but are not limited to, food, mediations, personal/hygiene products, pornography, weapons, of any type, etc. Log books are encouraged in Arkansas State Parks/ Museums, over exchange items.

    C. All caches are subject to random inspection by Park Superintendents and Museum Directors. Park staff has the authority to immediately remove any item held in a cache deemed unacceptable.

     

    CACHE LOCATIONS:

    A. Physical caches are prohibited inside any state park/museum facility or structure.

    B. The location of a cache must be pre-approved by the Park Superintendent or Museum Director.

    C. Caches may not be placed in locations that may lead to the creation of spur trails.

    D. Caches may not be buried, nor may vegetation or stones be disturbed to pace a cache.

    E. Caches may not be placed in dangerous, inappropriate, or protected areas and habitats, on cliffs, underground, or underwater.

    F. Metal detectors may not be used in cache searches.

     

    COMPLIANCE:

     

    A. Failure to comply with park / museum guidelines will result in the revocation of effective geocaching permits. Continued failure to comply with these guidelines will prevent the issuance of any further geocaching permits to the non-compliant group or individual.

    B. If geocaching activities as a whole are found to have a negative impact on park resources or if safety becomes an issue in geocache searches, the Park Superintendent / Museum Director may ban geocaching from certain areas or from the entire park / museum.

    Well,

    I received an email today from the Arkansas state parks dept. With a BUNCH of rules as to what/how a cache can be placed in a state park.

     

    Looks to me like geocaching in Arkansas State Parks is darn near dead, at least in my opinion, I think it could be WAY too much of a hassle.

     

    I have a copy of the rules/regulations in my email. Anyone interested in a copy I will be glad to email it to them, just email me.

     

    Happy Hunting,

    Rusty

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    I was just wondering if someone could give me some information. I was up at my parents in Western Arkansas a couple of weeks ago, and was out in their yard trtying to find the nearest caches.

    The question I have, I noticed there was a bunch of waypoints in my GPS, that started with a B*****. One of thes was like in the middle of a US Highway.

    Can anyone tell me what these points might be?

    I am using a Magellan 315.

    Thanks for any Info,

    Rusty

    I have several emails from these people concerning my Harley Dude Travel Bug, they have kidnapped him and are gloating about doing it. My 5 y/o stepson gave me the motorcycle and the army man for this bug, and now this person has him. If anyone knows these people please let me know the geocaching id. I think I know what it is but I am not positive so would like it confirmed before going furthur. I will be glad to forward the emails as they were sent to me.

    Thanks for any help,

    Escarpment Trails Cache (Ontario)

    Posted

    Just to let everyone know, someone using the email of icon_mad.gif geopirates@hotmail.com has kidnapped my Harley Dude Travel Bug out of this cache, this is one of several bugs they have supposedly "collected." If anyone has anymore details on these people could you please email me? I sent several emails to people who had visited this cache to see if my bug was still there before I received the several emails from these people. If anyone as I say has any info at all please pass it along.

    Thanks,

    Rusty
