And thanks again for making those numbers available for us, Brian.

I think that's what we're trying to do, but if this is really coming
down from above the Ranger District Office, then we probably have to
start with our elected officials, as others have already suggested.

I'm a city kid from the east, I could be SO wrong about this, but don't
the ranchers pay a leasing fee to the gummint so their critters can
leave their meadow muffins wherever they fall? Are you willing to pay to
buy a permit to hide a cache? How much? 


(Maybe we should start to refer to cache as

That's funny! Gives a whole new spelling to the business phrase "cash
cow". Now it's "cache cow".
