+The Herd Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 We just got our Sequoia National Park coin today in the mail (neat coin!) and it got me thinking about other geocoins designed around our National Parks. Does anyone have a list or know of other parks that have been created by the geocaching community? Quote Link to comment
+ChinCache Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 There should not be any national park coins or anything geocache. they don't want us there so why advertise for them? Quote Link to comment

+chaosmanor Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 There should not be any national park coins or anything geocache. they don't want us there so why advertise for them? Now there's a nice, friendly attitude Look, it isn't the fault of the NPS that caches aren't allowed. Blame Congress; they passed the law over 100 years ago, and it's never been amended to allow for things like caching. To be honest, considering how poorly some people maintain their caches, I can't blame the NPS for not wanting caches in, say, Yosemite Valley or the Grand Canyon. Now, being very close to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, it would be nice if they could allow caches on NPS-owned land, especially as there are several hundred in non-NPS-owned lands within the SMMNRA, including several State Parks and lands owned by several Conservancies and Park Districts. But until Congress changes the law, NPS employees have to follow the law that they have. Quote Link to comment

+nielsenc Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 There has been talk about this before. There are Geocaches in the National Parks, some are just virtuals and there is a 'sign' cache in Yellowstone: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...90&dist=100 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...c5-add74669e309 nielsenc Quote Link to comment
