+woodsters Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Being new to the area can anyone give me a heads up of restrictions of places to place caches in the area? Perhaps agencies, areas or whatever that have said no on placing caches or where problems might of arisen? Feel free to email me. Thanks Quote
+El Diablo Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Last I heard, unless they have been convinced otherwise, no caches in state parks. El Diablo Quote
+honeychile Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Well, you CAN put a cache in an NC State Parks, but the rules are so prohibitive as to make it impractical. It costs $25 for a permit which is only good for 90 days, must be in a clear container, location must be approved by a ranger, and other rules. The directive was issued in 2002 and appears here. To my knowledge, there's only one cache with the required permit - the Eno $25 Cache. Rangers have been known to confiscate caches in NC State parks, so tread carefully. I won't (knowingly) approve a cache in an NC State Park without the proper permit. It's a real shame because it makes caching in NC limited to local parks. The Blue Ridge is off limits due to NPS management; and the NC State Parks are nearly off limits due to strict guidelines. I've made overtures to try to discuss geocaching with state park officials, but got a (very civil) brushoff. Of course, that's part of the reason why NC geocachers have developed into such clever hiders Welcome to NC! Quote
