Thanks NavDog I had noticed quite a few caches showing up in the 3 Sisters Wilderness as of late, and it just got me thinking (one is even on top of South Sister!) It will be interesting to see how government agencies react as the sports popularity grows. I myself have seen some "high impact" caches during my short stint with the game. Anyhow, I guess it never hurts to remind us all that we need to take care when placing the caches! gapertimmy GAPER!

I'm fairly new to the game, but am curious about how the Forest Service looks upon caches in designated wilderness areas.... From other experiences, I know the FS doesn't like any permanent fixtures in the wilderness, and goes so far that they even won't allow Hellicopters to be used for SAR searches unless its life or death. So, the question is, is it ok legally, to place a cache in the wilderness areas? Also, what do you feel, ethically, about placing something that many folks would consider trash in a wilderness setting? Just want to see what views people have about this... I'm sure it has been raked over the coals once or twice! -gaper GAPER!
