+cmpalmer Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I just got this cache notification. There is a thread on alacache.com about this issue. Someone has talked to the park rangers and they don't seem to have a problem with caching, but this was posted after that discussion. ofcbc's profile identified him/her as a state police officer.

+bitbrain Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 That's a major bummer. There are several Monte Sano caches I haven't hunted yet! Let's hope the Land Trust doesn't adopt a similar policy. Quote Link to comment
+Rocket Scientist 2 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I got the same note posted for the MC^2 Cache (Monte Sano Cuts Cache) so I responded to the sender and asked if there was a way to make the geocaches in the park legal. He wrote back and said that they were looking into the geocaching right now. Here's exactly what he wrote: >as it stands now we are looking into the geo caching situation. such >activities must be approved by management having not done this as of yet is >where the majority of the problem lies. once we are convinced about >geocaching we will let you know So I wrote back and said that as a financial supporter of the Land Trust and Monte Sano State Park that I would be happy to discuss geocaching with him and possibly even have a meeting with local geocachers. So I guess we'll see where this goes. You can e-mail me to discuss if you want to. As for now, I am not removing our cache and went today to find Panorama Cache. I hope we can reach a compromise. I just think that he doesn't understand geocaching. Quote Link to comment
