- Mike, You've probably already thought of this idea, but how about this? Maybe we could get him to rewrite the rule so that a certain percentage of caches have to be handicapped accessible. If 25% was the required percentage, then for every three regular caches there would have to be one handicapped cache. We could even agree to hide the handicapped one first, and then he could approve the next three caches. Or even if he wants half of them to be handicapped, it's still better than the way it is now. I would be interested in the challenge of creating some handicapped caches for Klondike or Quail Ridge, if he's willing to give a bit. But a handicapped cache for Matson? Even their own facilities for Matson aren't accessible. The percentage would have to apply system-wide, not per park.

ALL caches in St. Charles County Parks MUST be approved prior to placement. ALL caches must be in clear, see-through containers with the placers phone number and name written on the cache ALL caches must be in easy to access locations that would not put even the youngest people in harms way ALL caches must be removed after 6 months to prevent wear and tear in the area. All these I can live with except the last one which states: ALL caches MUST be handicap accessible. If you place your cache 20 foot from the paved trail, it would NOT be handicap accessible. I tried to reason with him but he won't listen. I want to have a meeting with him next week and see if we can modify the policy a little bit. Also, be prepared to wait 6 weeks or longer for the approval.
