You're right, Dan, it doesn't mention it anywhere. The "Guide to Creating and Hiding a Cache" http://www.geocaching.com/articles/making.asp  does say this, though: "If you place the cache on public lands you need to contact the managing agency to find out about their rules."

I'm not trying to be pugnacious, but can someone point me to where it says that caches cannot be located in wilderness areas?  I don't see any mention of it on the 'Cache Listing Requirements' page on geocaching.com.
Thanks,
Dan

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Superstition Caches

I've been trying to avoid this thread, but I've had a few private emails in addition to what's been posted on the listserver, so I'm going to quote myself, and reuse part of a reply I sent to another cacher, because I haven't seen this point of view surface here yet:
 
I think the rangers had every right to do what they did. I have two reasons for that view. Number one, designated wilderness areas have always been off-limits to cache placement. Even Scott Wood, who welcomes caches in Tonto, excluded designated wilderness areas, and the Superstitions, including the entire area around the Peralta Trail, are so designated.
