I just heard about this today. I am thrilled and grateful to Mel and our state leaders who got this accomplished. I called the governors office today to thank him. Mel, Mike said he would buy you a beer if he sees you at an event cache. Thank you so much!

We are so
grateful for the persistence and hard work involved.
Caching out on state trust and blm land is our favorite
activity. It was a big disappointment to not have that
option. Can't wait to get our permit again.
Thank you all.

To all Geocachers:
I have been working with Bucky &
McGee, Just Hike, RSTarT and Matt
O'Halloran to try
and get geocaching back on State Trust
Land.
Great news!! With the help from
Senator Steve Smith the new head of the
Land
Department, Lisa Atkins, the policy of
not letting
us place caches on STL has been reversed
and we are
allowed back on STL!!
A press release announcing this is
scheduled for tomorrow, Tues Feb 2,
2016.
Please thank the new Commissioner
(Lisa Atkins) Senator Steve Smith and
Governor Doug
Ducey with an e-mail if you could. A
good response
will show them we appreciate what they
have done.
The Commissioner made the
announcement at the Yuma Mega Event
yesterday IN
PERSON - showing her support for
us.
We have discussed doing CITO Events
on STL to help them and they are
extremely
interested so if you see an area that
may need our
attention we can set something up and
show them we
care also.
Another good thing is the STL
Permits will be available online at
their website,
we can download the permit immediately.
I
know I have not renewed my permit
since they
banned us and I am sure many others
did the same
but now we need to again show
our appreciation
by getting permits.
If
you have any questions please contact
me.
