[GeoStL] Re: Condition of cache area

-
I have to agree that this is a real concern for the official side of me (I work 
for JC Parks & Rec) too.  The solution to this is VERY simple.  It requires 
leaving a useful hint on the cache page.  I have done so many caches that the 
hint is useless and you are left to "leaving no stone unturned" to find the 
cache.  I keep an eye out on what's going on and have from time to time asked 
hiders to make their hint more specific.
 
I'm not trying to be critical, heck, I've done that too.  I try to be 
cute/funny/obscure with the hint and it dosn't help (ie...3 Bucks Cache).  If 
you find a cache area that is getting disrupted, you might email the owner to 
make the hint more specific.

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 
area.
It looked like some hundred lb. turkeys were in the area. In one area big 
slabs of rocks were pulled out and turned over. Some were pushed down the hill. 
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 
caches would deny us this privilege if they would see the havoc some of us have 
left behind .
I know that talking to the people who frequent this e-mail site is like 
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 
area in as natural a condition as possible. What are your thoughts? 
Believe me I am not a "tree hugger". But I do think this problem needs to be 
addressed as our ranks swell.
