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.
