[GeoStL] MDC stance on geocaching

-
I've made contact with the Missouri Dept of Conservation in the 
Columbia area about placing a few caches.  The area superintendent was 
helpful, but said that 'geocaching was'nt really in their mission 
statement, but that they do allow it.'  He stressed that it be a safe 
place and that it shouldn't 'cause extra litter to the area.  Then he 
referred me to the specific area managers who I need to get special use 
permits from.

Well, I was able to get ahold of one office and they seemed a little 
non-helpful once I mentioned geocaching, but is sending the permit 
anyway.

I just don't get it.  It seems to me that getting people out onto the 
grounds is the whole purpose of 'sharing' state lands with us.  I don't 
think any of us litter.  And, I can think of quite a few places that 
probably wouldn't get many visitors if it weren't for geocachers.

What's up with the 'really not in our mission'???!!!!
