Hi
everyone...I wanted to share this story with ya'all....
I
went to REI this past weekend for a problem with my GPS. As the guy
was helping me, he shared his viewpoint on geocaching. He said that he
goes out on public lands a lot and anytime he sees a cache there, he
throws it away. My first thought was shock and alarm! I went home and
looked up the official rules, and he's right. They are not supposed to
be on forest service land, state land, etc. However, somehow this
message is not getting out to everyone who places caches. I told him
that it would be better if he contacted the owner and let them know
that he was removing their cache because it didn't follow the
guidelines and he blew me off and said that they know it's not supposed
to be there. Rather than have him sabbotage my GPS ;0) I just let that
go and finished the troubleshooting and left. It disturbed me that he
would do such a thing, though. I just thought I would bring it up to
see if anyone has any thoughts on what people should do if they find a
cache on public lands that shouldn't be there. Thanks!
