Keep up the good work. I hope that the forest service knows that we are doing this and we wouldn't be out there as much if it weren't for geo caching.

Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] cache for trash
I spent the day yesterday (Saturday) puttin' around in the Jeep on Tonto Forest land and collected half a bag of litter (I use the 55 gallon drum size bags) and an old tire! I saw some great country and got some exercise by jumping in and out of my CJ5! I've come to the conclusion the litterbugs prefer "BUD Light"!!!

When out in the forest or dessert I seem to pick up a lot of trash. I bet you all do the same. If you don't shame on you! I am going to start posting in my logs just how much trash I picked up on my geocaching adventures into the great out doors. I bet if others do this we will start to get a better name for ourselves. Today I was in the Migus Mtn area and picked up 1 plastic shopping bag of trash and hauled it out. I seen about 15 other people in the 9 or 10 miles of dirt roads that I tooled around on today. If every one of those people where geocachers and picked up 1 bag of trash, could you imagine how nice the forest would be?
This is just a thought that could raise every ones karma. Not to mention how much it would help the future of geocaching. If a forest official or anyone for that matter where to visit the site and see what geocachers are doing to help then I feel we would have more support.
The forest service also has an Adopt A Site program that I thought some of us could get involved in. I don't know all the rules to it but it sounds like a good way to meet other geocachers and get good publicity. If anyone is interested please check with your local forest officials to get further info. I think it would make a neat geocachers rendezvous.
