+nmbobster Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 An article on geocaching was published today in the ezine by the Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics. It can be found at www.fseee.org/index.html. This magazine is sent to every Forest Service employee in the country and is also read by several thousand land managers from other agencies.

+StarBrand Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 OK - give me a hint (without reading ALL the articles) - which one talks about Geocaching? Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 There are a lot of articles there. Are you talking about the same one that was linked in this topic from earlier today? If so you can close this topic. If it is a different one, can you provide a direct link to the new article? Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) OK - give me a hint (without reading ALL the articles) - which one talks about Geocaching? That would be the one behind the small word "Geocaching", on the right. It's a pretty good article. Nice to know that the Forest Service has a more enlightened view towards people actually (gasp!) visiting its land, than the Park Service does...

+nmbobster Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thanks, was just about to say that. The article pops up inside the frame so I don't know how to get the direct link to the article. Maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out. Is not the same one from the other thread. Quote Link to comment
magellan315 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I can't link through to it, but if you look on the right side you will see a thumb nail of magazine cover and to the right of it is the word "geocaching". Quote Link to comment

magellan315 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) I could really have lived without the quotes from Marcia Keener: "Marcia Keener, a program analyst for the Park Service policy office, has seen it all: from online cache coordinates that lead hunters to injure themselves in concealed pitfalls and mineshafts, to cachers uncovering narcotics labs hidden deep in forests, to well-meaning “cache-in, trash-out” participants, who vow to clean litter from parks as they cache, accidentally removing historical artifacts from off-trail archaeological sites." In four years of Geocaching I have seen posts from people who have stumbled across drug caches and labs, but infrequent at best. As for the other things mentioned I'd have to see how much actual documentation she has, as opposed to anectdotal. Edited March 21, 2005 by magellan315 Quote Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Good article, for the most part anyway. The comment about CITOing out the historical artifacts doesn't help spin things in a particularly good way, but they seem to have captured much of the essence of things otherwise, I thought. Kinda funny to me that the cache they found had a diaper inside. Fortunately, as reported, the diaper contained no 'historical artifacts'. Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 A direct link to the article. Thanks for some direction on that page. Quote Link to comment
