[GeoStL] Re: FW: ohiobill contacting you from Geocaching.com

Another way to combat the ignorance of the NPS and the
public would be to flood the Park Service office and
newspapers etc with pictures of the supposedly
immaculate parks....take a camera whenever you go out
and if you see....ATV damage....cans and trash by
hunters and fisherman etc etc ....take pictures and
then send them in ...along with maybe a picture of a
cache site ....would be a nice comparison and very
embarrassing for the NPS etc.

We pay just as much tax to keep these places going as
the so called legitimate users and we are not allowed
our innocent hobby....Let's give them hell

PS: By the way myotis thanks for the save on the
Moving cache....I don't know what happened to my GPS
reading unless the batteries were getting low...Thank
you
