Here's the reply I got about St. Peters geocaching (see my previous post: Fwd:
[LOG] Owner: MSAA couldn't find It's a Goose, It's a Plane, It's a Pterodactyl!)
This is troubling. Anybody else out there who has looked for a cache in St.
Peters and found it missing?
I find it hard to believe that the rangers would take the time to go out and
pull them all. I'll investigate as soon as I can. I'd appreciate help from
anyone else who has caches in our parks, who by default would have talked to
the rangers over the years.
