[Az-Geocaching] Destruction of geological site(s?)

[loran @cox]

One problem I have noticed in geocaching is that we tend to try and drive as
close to a site as we can. To keep this game intact we must take care to not
hide the cache in a sensitive area and to inform cacher when it is
inappropriate to drive, 4WD, or ATV into an area. This will cut down on wear
and tear of an area.  We need to keep the rangers happy if we don't want to
lose our game.

Libby's cache is a good example of how to place a cache near a site without
actually disturbing the site.  With the reference a cacher finds out about
the site nearby and it is there decision whether or not to visit. Since all
cache site show wear over time this method removes the chance of a hidden
cache disturbing the actual site.

I too can not think of which site in the White Tanks they are referring. I
have figured out which site in the Lake Pleasant area and believe the ranger
is more concerned with wear and tear to the area and not vandalizing.

Just my thoughts
