Guest Lurker Above Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Are you supposed to tell the park rangers? Quote Link to comment
Guest makaio Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 It's considered good policy to ask permission of the land steward (in the case of a park this would be the park rangers) prior to placing the cache. Granted, it's not always necessary, but it's up to you to make the call. If you're referring to a national park, forget about placing a cache there. Geocaching in national parks is prohibited.

Guest SnowTiger23 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 So why is geocaching illegal in a national park? How about a national forest? I think it would be cool to have one at a ski area. Most of the areas are on public forests here in Colorado. Quote Link to comment
Guest Geoffrey Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 It is illegal to step on or alter natural life in the parks I think. ------------------ My GPS Information Page: http://members.aol.com/geoffr524/myhomepage/howto.html This page has many links about GPS information for the beginner.

Guest makaio Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 perate agency who haven't (yet?) outlawed geocaching, therefore, you may still place cahces there. But it's still prudent to ask permission to avoid potantial problems. And it allows them to decide if and/or in what areas the cache should be placed as they know the property best and can advise against potentially fragile areas which we may not be aware of. I'd imagine one in a ski resort would be fine. Quote Link to comment
Guest SnowTiger23 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Thanks Geoffery and makaio! I will definitely talk to ski patrol before I decide to try it. I'll see what they say. Quote Link to comment

Guest GLNash Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 The st. louis area geocachers got this note about one of theis caches via the geocache website. we picked up the cache today. they were very nice and gave me some conservation dept stuff for the cache. glenn ----- Sir, The Picnic Memorial Cache has been removed. I have setup an account to notify the Cache owners but it has not been validated as of this time. Rockwoods Reservation is the property of the Missouri Department of Conservation and is one of the few areas where going off the trails is not allowed. There are too many places that a cross country hiker could fall into (prior to acquisition area was quarried and mined for limestone). The owners of the cache can claim the box by contacting: Wallace Brumfield Rockwoods Area Manager Quote Link to comment
