Exactly. We have had caches on CoE land for some time now. They have
always been very geocaching friendly and like our caches on the land.
They have always wanted us to ask permission so they could give us
the nod and make sure that we were not putting caches where they
didn't want them. They are a little touchy about the dams, bridges,
reservoirs and such but other than that, they have been very
friendly. There is a large park in Kansas that they have pretty much
just told us to have at it since there is nothing there that can be
torn up. It is a giant area where the 4x4 folks go and play too. Very
cool place if ya like that sort of thing.
There are other districts of the CoE that have a policy but it hasn't
extend to here until now. Very good news indeed. With a policy in
place, they cant just say no for a lack of a policy.

ACOE has no state boundaries. Shelbyville has had caches for a while and they have known about it. It is really up to each land manager. It looks like now, they have an official policy which is good. Rend has had some caches there as well.

Hello all!
I think I mentioned to you before that I had been working with the corps at Mark Twain Lake regarding caching on their property.
I was told that they first had to draw up a geocaching policy for their district. Well, Ijust got an e-mail this morning saying that there is now an official geocaching policy & that I can come by the office any time to get a permit to start placing caches over there!
I have read the policy & it seems to be very reasonable.
In addition to Mark Twain Lake, this policy will effect the following lakes, Rend, Carlyle, Shelbyville & Wappapello
