- Hats off to Jeff for the way he engaged the Conservation dept. and Hats off to you too Nancy for following up and working with Tom. Great story! I can't wait to see some more caches out there. Just keep your head down during hunting season!

Tom Leifield, the manger is very open cache placement. We chatted for a few minutes and he encouraged me to figure out a way to tie in conservation, nature etc in the placement and to especially discuss this in the paperwork in requesting placement. Without a mention from me, HE volunteered that someone recently just did a good job of placement at St. Stanislaus and did a GREAT (his emphasis) job on the paperwork in requesting the placement. He even called Bluebeadman by his real name (LOL). He went on to say that Jeff (May I call you Jeff? lol) talked about getting people out to the areas and onto the trails and how a geocache might bring new people out to new areas. > > The PRESSURE! > > So, Jeff, I might need to "borrow" some of your ideas! Any hints or suggestions? > > Just thought I'd pass this along as something positive in placement. > > Also, if anyone would want to collaborate with us on a series of caches (similar to St. Stanislaus -- which we haven't "officially done but hubby has scoped out) at Columbia Bottoms, we'd be willing to "share" -- it's a BIG, BIG place. > > Nancy > **************************************** > Our WebPage!
