I think as the sport grows, this will become more and more of a problem. =
Not
only the intentional destruction of areas by out of control cachers, but
also the unintentional destruction by us they don't know all the =
different
wildlife/plants. I'll be honest, most of the time I couldn't tell you if =
I
was stepping on a weed or an endangered plant. I don't mean to be
destructive, but just the fact of getting to the cache, I can destroy =
stuff.
I would hope that by spending time out in nature that I will become =
better
educated about nature and I hopefully won't destroy to much in the =
process.
Maybe with the help of Jim and others who have the education about the
outdoors, they can teach us city slickers how not to destroy the =
outdoors,
but to enjoy them and caching.

Subject: [GeoStL] Condition of cache area
-
Hello all.
Although I seldom have anything to say here, I read what everyone else =
says.
Recently I did a few caches. I was disturbed at the condition of the =
cache=20
area.
It looked like some hundred lb. turkeys were in the area. In one area =
big=20
slabs of rocks were pulled out and turned over. Some were pushed down =
the
hill.=20
Another area the rocks were pulled out from under a man made object and =
left
laying around. I feel that some of the people who give us permission to
hide=20
caches would deny us this privilege if they would see the havoc some of =
us
have=20
left behind .
I know that talking to the people who frequent this e-mail site is like=20
preaching to the choir.
What to do? I am sure that some of you people can come up with better =
ideas.
My thought is to stress on EVERY cache page that everyone leaves the =
cache=20
area in as natural a condition as possible. What are your thoughts?=20
Believe me I am not a "tree hugger". But I do think this problem needs =
to be
addressed as our ranks swell.
