I just wanted to let you know that there is a park system out there paying attention to you and playing along. I work for Cleveland Metroparks and we are supporting Geocaching on a test basis for one year. So far we are happy with the process. (We are not a national park).
Many park employees belong to a professional organization called NAI. I will be presenting on Geocaching at one of their conferences (Great Lakes Region) next week and hopefully at the national conference in the fall. I hope to inform other park systems of our participation.
Although, I do certainly respect park systems that decide the hobby is not for them. As an employee who is managing our six caches and keeping an eye on the 15 or so privatly placed caches in our system - it takes up a great deal of my time.
If anyone has questions about how we are participating you can e-mail me at geocaching@clevelandmetroparks.com.
