[GeoStL] Re: Geocaching and the Mark Twain National Forest

-
Jim,
   I think that in all gods truth that we should try to be the best people 
and make it know that they should have GEOCACHING in the policy. Otherwise 
they might not let us do it at all. If you are going to power valley on the 
8th count on me going. if you are do you want me to say anything on the 
subject of GEOCACHING?
