I am a cacher in Lawrence, Kansas. By being proactive and approaching the Corps of Engineers office at Clinton Lake State Park, they have an excellent idea of what "geocaching" is and how much fun we have. The state parks department even placed caches out at all the state parks last year, for a treasure hunt in which the more of the caches were found, the better your chance of winning free passes, camping fees, etc. In sum, I feel that geocaching is well-respected at Clinton Lake by the federal government.
Today I was informed that some new regulation is going into effect. Geocaches must be in clear containers. So far I have no guidance about more specific materials. As the owner of the biggest cache in CLSP (Tsar Nicholas' McToy Gulag #2: Lake View)this may represent a bit of a challenge. I aso have a film-can micro which can easily be replaced with a clear film canister.
Sooooo...if you or your friends have a geocache out in Clinton Lake State Park, please replace it.
If you have trouble getting out here to replace it, just email me and I'll add it to my "chores list."
Thanks in advance,
