February 14 by konopapw I think it's time we prompted Ms. Feakes to give us an official statement about how they view caches in the Mark Twain National Forest. Has anyone contacted her since the meeting? -------------------------------------------- February 14 by konopapw Did she actually say if we planted another cache in Wilderness, she would remove it? Even if we alerted her first? I was surprised that Butch still went through with archiving the Hercules Glade and Bell Mountain caches. I thought we got the 'go' to keep them where they were. BTW - did you ever get your Greer Springs ammo box back? --------------------------------------------- February 14 by GLNash Yes, Trilobites from Rolla, has contacted her today i think, as he has been dealing with the Greer Springs Cache for us. As far as the Forest Service is concerned, we are good to go in the forest as long as we let her know where the box is so they dont get the police out into the woods again. (ops, my bad) We still need to get her to change her mind on the wilderness areas tho. She will not change her mind unless prompted by someone higher, like randy moore. ----------------------------- Nancy never directly said that she would remove the wilderness caches but made it clear that she thought that placing the caches within the wilderness boundries would somehow spoil the discovery of the place and she just didnt think the wilderness should be enjoyed that way. Nancy still has the Greer cache and it will make it's way into Trilobites possession as soon as he gets around to getting over to that part of town to pick it up. I dont think we let Butch know what we were doing with the Forest service so he didnt know to hold on to them a little longer. I dont think he has gotten out to pick them up yet. That would be alot of walking and he was still under the weather a little. I should have been keeping him informed of the meetings. **glenn ************************************************************* Our WebPage! //www.freelists.org/webpage/geocaching Mail List & Archive Info. //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list?list_id=geocaching Environmental msg. of the day, "Save the spotted Cow" *************************************************************
