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

[Ford, Denny]

If you will notice, there is a email link to the writer of this article.  I think as a group we should express our
concern of her true lack of evidence.  We all know that we attempt to minimize the effects of the environment, and if we
do not speak up, she will believe she was correct.

Interesting ....... I do agree with some point that they made....I am in to archaeology ...and know of some really kewl
places that I wanted to share with other geocacher...not sure how they would respect the area I hide a cache about .1
mile from the site and in the log book told cacher how to get to the site ....if they wanted to explore it..... for what
I can tell from the logs only 3 people took the time to look around.... most were into the cache and go bit..... now I
know that everyone of them would have gone and seen the site if the got score for it....    I do believe that we have a
right to visit all the archaeological site that are on public lands.....but I also think that virtual caches should be
used at them to help prevent damage..... lets face it if each one of us turned over just one rock when looking for a
cache.....after 20 people the landscape would look totally different..... From reading the article we all know what
caches they are talking about....
 
just my 2 cents
We will be known by the tracks we leave behind

Front page news on the Arizona Republic. You can read
it on the web at
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0807cache07.html <http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0807cache07.html> 

Lake Pleasant and the White Tanks are the areas named.
The article seemed short on proof that geocachers were
responsible. 

I think that we're about to see a number of government
agencies pull caches that they didn't know exists or
knew about but didn't care about. I also think that
the addage "there's no such thing as bad publicity" is
going to generate a ton of geocaching activity this
weekend and next from new cachers.
