Interesting ....... I do agree with some point that they made....I am in to archaeology ...and know of some really kewl places that I wanted to share with other geocacher...not sure how they would respect the area I hide a cache about .1 mile from the site and in the log book told cacher how to get to the site ....if they wanted to explore it..... for what I can tell from the logs only 3 people took the time to look around.... most were into the cache and go bit..... now I know that everyone of them would have gone and seen the site if the got score for it....    I do believe that we have a right to visit all the archaeological site that are on public lands.....but I also think that virtual caches should be used at them to help prevent damage..... lets face it if each one of us turned over just one rock when looking for a cache.....after 20 people the landscape would look totally different..... From reading the article we all know what caches they are talking about....

just my 2 cents
We will be known by the tracks we leave behind

  Front page news on the Arizona Republic. You can read
  it on the web at
  http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0807cache07.html

  Lake Pleasant and the White Tanks are the areas named.
  The article seemed short on proof that geocachers were
  responsible. 

  I think that we're about to see a number of government
  agencies pull caches that they didn't know exists or
  knew about but didn't care about. I also think that
  the addage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" is
  going to generate a ton of geocaching activity this
  weekend and next from new cachers.
