Mtn-man can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I read it, the $100 permit that was taken out by the GGA covers all geocachers (hiders and searchrs). There is no need for individual geocachers to seek permits. briansnat is correct. I thought I have been clear. No one has ever needed a permit to find geocaches anywhere in Georgia. We only had to get a permit to hide them in the NF areas. Again, the permit covers all geocachers whether they belong to the GGA or not. The GGA simply took the initiative to negotiate with the FS to keep caching acceptable in NF areas. I've even given a direct link to the guidelines for hiding caches in the NF areas in this topic. I will revise and add to the wording to make it more clear regarding the permit on our web page. I see, thanks. And, thanks to GGA for taking out the permit so the rest of us can geocache there.

$100 dollars to geocache in national forests! Just in Georgia! ...Unless I've misunderstood you, 'Just in Georgia!' isn't nice to say. Georgia is gorgeous from what I've seen. That aside. ...I think you did misunderstand. As I read Luckless' post, 'just in Georgia' related to the fact that the permit was only good in Georgia, rather than regional or national. Of course, I'm a little confused as to what the permit allows. If it is $100 per cache, that's pricey. If it covers as many caches as can be placed in Georgia parks and doesn't include an individual approval process, that may be a very good deal. I understood "blanket permit for geocachers" to mean a permit to geocache, probably for a period of time like a year or 5 years. Sounds like a hunting or fishing license. I looked at the GA Geocaching Guidlines on the GGA website (here) and didn't find this information. They do mention a permit, but there is no information on how to get one, what it permits or how much it costs. I had hoped that the GA Geocachers Assn. website would have more details. Maybe I just missed it. We're passing through GA in two weeks and planned on geocaching. I never even considered that there may be laws governing this. I guess I should to check NC, SC and FL too.

4:25PM EST and it's still too busy... Anyone know who hosts the site?

Oh, duh... I missed all the posts that already said this... sorry to repeat.

I just tried with a RAZR V3m and I get the same error: --BEGIN ERROR-- Server error in / System.FormatException Invalid length for a Base-64 char array. Method:FromBase64String --END ERROR-- This happens on everything but the initial page and the login page. But, I do get the error after submitting the login form.

We are 37, 36, 11 and 8. We have a 1-year-old that goes with us, but he really doesn't know what's going on yet.
