I had a
conversation this afternoon with a minion of the Scottsdale Parks and Recreation
Department. I explained about geocaching and asked him about the possibility of
formalizing some kind of consent/acknowledgement/control with the Department.
The essence of his reply was that, particularly in light of September 11, any
attempt to obtain formal consent for an activity such as geocaching would likely
be met with rejection, and that we were probably better off continuing to do
what we are doing surreptitiously.
Perhaps someone
else could have done a better job of pleading our case than I did. But I plan on
taking this person's advice, at least when it comes to any caches in areas
belonging to Scottsdale Parks and Recreation.
