[GeoStL] Re: Mark Twain Natl Forest

Not sure why the link was never completed but the policy that MTNF has here is 
basically as follows:
   
  Cache should not be placed in sensitive areas:
  Wildermess.
  Archaeological sites
  Caves
  Dangersous areas
   
  Just about anywhere else is fair game
   
  No permit required though I have always sent a note to Nancy Feakes outlining 
the following:
  Where the cache is located
  How it is hidden
  What type of container
  A link to the cache page
  Reassurance that it is NOT hidden in any of the above and is not
  buried
  destructive to Forest Service property 
  or dangerous without a lot of warnings
   
  I also include in my description any restrictions such as ATV use or off road 
vehicle use
   
  I also provide them with feedback everytime I go to check on them as to:
  Trail usability whether any sections need maintenance
  how are the roads going in 
  is there any trash being dumped 
  any illegal activity
  and any thing else I can think of to keep the relationship good with them
   
  Nancy Feakes is a great person to work with and very understanding for a 
govt. employee :)
   
  She would be the one to contact about the webpage but remember caching IS 
Allowed with very very few restrictions so don't make them mad

I was looking at their website for other reasons but came across their 
geocaching link.

I thought it would have some policy and procedures.

Please look at it and let me know what you think.
