+budbon Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hi all. I live in Durango, Colorado and have been geocaching for about 3 years although I only have 120 or so finds. As you may know, you can't list new geocaches in the San Juan National Forest. Without going into all of the reasons or whys, I have been working off and on for the past year or so to get the necessary permissions. Today I met with the local Recreational and Wilderness Mgr., Mr Brian White. Mr White seems favorable to geocaching activities but government being what it is there must be a process. He asked that I contact any organizations (locally or otherwise) that might have an interest in geocaching in the San Juan National Forest in order to gather organizional names to present to the Distric Ranger. He wants to find out if this is just an activity for a very few or if a number of people would be interested. He realizes many people visit this area from other states and their input would be valuable also. If there any local Colorado (or otherwise) clubs that would like to put in their two cents, please email me with the name of your group and number of members if possible. Please just note the name of your local group or organization. Quote Link to comment

As you may know, you can't list new geocaches in the San Juan National Forest.. Please just note the name of your local group or organization. Hi Bud, There is a Cub Scout cache between Durango and Mancos, why not contact them and the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts in the area. I'm sure they would be interested. Cheers, PandA Inc Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I don't know how current it is, but here's a thread that may help: Geocaching Organizations in the West and Southwest Quote Link to comment
+NeverSummer Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 You can also put Mr. White in contact with the business development folks at Groundspeak by emailing Nicole or Jenn at bizdev@geocaching.com or contact@geocaching.com Quote Link to comment

Thanks! Don't ignore Texas. When I lived out there, all I can remember seeing on the license plates ahead of me was Texas Truck while heading up Molas Pass. Quote Link to comment
+Don_J Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm not sure how you could convey this message, but if I'm traveling just for the sake of traveling and there are no caches on the map, I'm almost certainly taking another route or picking a different destination. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the West and Southwest forum. Quote Link to comment
