Sounds like someone flexing his proverbial muscle because he can. Didn't you have a discussion about this with a Park Ranger not too long ago? I thought the officer you had the run-in with today and the one before would be from the same agency.

Hey Steve
I was told today by a Park Gestapo, see log for
ARRGH!*^&$% that it is ILLEGAL to geocache in the national forest, but was
also told that if you buy a pass it is ok to do whatever, in the same
sentence....then he said yes please tell them who you are and where you
placed your geocache so they can arrest you in impound your computer, that they
just did this last month to a geocacher......

Theres a front-page story today
in my favorite <hack
kaff> newspaper, the Arizona
Republic, about
crimes being committed on public lands (Im rather surprised they didnt
include Geocaching in the article!). But in the continuation of the article on
page A28, theres a nice little map and chart showing each of the federally
managed recreation lands in the state and what agency (USFS, NPS, BLM, FWS)
manages each. This could be a handy-dandy little reference when youre
thinking about where to hide your next ammo can.
I was able to find the article
online but not the chart.
