Geocaching now allowed in Catskills, etc...?

Note the PS on the latest log for this cache of mine. It's a virtual that is across the road from Tibbet's State Forest (which is a few miles east of Albany).

 

I've e-mailed the writer asking for additional info. Does anybody else know something about this?

Wow Brian this sounds great I wonder where he's getting his info. I've emailed him too after not finding anything in a search of DEC pages. I'll be very interested to hear where this came from. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

That's excellent news Brian! We'll have to organize a group backpacking trip there this summer and place a few around.

 

I need to check up on

I've also looked through the DEC website , press releases and regs and I can't see anything addressing geocaching one way or the other. I would say that one the most ardent opponents of Geocaching is on disability, and up till now it has been dependent on the caprices of the individual Forest Ranger. I don't know who the poster is who calls himself ranger, but he doesn't sound to me like a DEC Forest Ranger.

and asked him where he got his info before I e-mail Ranger Hess. I have had no response. Has anyone else heard back from him? Or Ranger Hess?

 

Cache you later,

I feel much more like I do now than when I first got here.

No response either. But I did see a post from him (or her) in the forums recently on a different subject. So the person is active.
