[Az-Geocaching] Mad Park Ranger

[Trisha]

Is a "National Monument" exactly the same as a "National Park"?
As in....."Grand Canyon National Park" or "Yellowstone National Park",
are these treated the same as a "National Monument" or in this case,
"Coronado National Memorial"?
If they are the same, shouldn't the "rules" list ALL the National
categories (Parks, Monuments, etc) as off limits....or maybe it does
already? I thought all it said was "National Parks".
What about something like the "Cabeza NATIONAL Wildlife Refuge?" Arent
there several caches in there that a bunch of teams went in and found
together? Is that treated the SAME as a "National Park"?
This needs clarification, I was only aware of the ban in "National
Parks" and on my map the area in question (I think) says "Coronado
National Memorial" NOT PARK.??
