+Illinois Bill Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 Seems to me, actions speak louder than words. The best thing anyone can do is to work with a park and place a cache. Then they need to maintain that cache, keep the area CITOed, maybe even hold events (with the permission of the park) that have to do with park preservation and repair. If one person each took a park in their area and did this, NPS would have a totally different view of caching. We're doing the same thing at a privately owned area that people have been wanting to cache at forever. It took us months to convince them to allow us special permission to place one. In order to do so, we have to go with a staff member who will work with us to decide on a placement that will work for them and us. Then, if we maintain it, and keep the place clean, they might change their mind in the future to allow others. If we want people to allow cachers in, we have to show them just how great cachers can be. Yes and if and when possible get a letter from them stating how well its working. That way other cachers will have something to use for other park guardians..... Quote
