As I mentioned I would, I emailed the Park Supervisor of McDowell Mountain Regional Park the other day, requesting permission to keep Grandma Sarah’s Cache within the park. Frankly, I was a little concerned that they might ask us to remove it simply because we never asked for permission in the first place.

This afternoon I received an email from the Park Supervisor, which I quote in its entirety, spelling, punctuation, and all:

Hi Stephen, thanks for the info.  I do not have a problem with Grandma's cashe.
thanks,

So we finally have a cache placed with explicit permission! At least we know it can be done.

I also sent an email to Rand Hubbell, thanking him for posting the MCP policy and asking him if he’d reconsider the language about the site damage. At this writing I have not had a reply.
