I still think there's an attitude where the Public needs to stay at home and
leave the parks to the professionals. Geocaching is popular, it's a great way
to get a "guided" tour of an area on your own schedule, and people share some
rather profound sites to visit, fossil beds included. I'm sure some of the
park employees would greatly prefer it if they didn't have to do any park work
- if they could only find a way to keep the public off the public lands....
And by the way, Mike, I talked to Ken at Costco the other night. Very sneaky
of you. Kudos.
