Pam and I talked to him about geocaching, he said the one of the concerns they have with the sport is that we dig holes to put the caches in. We got the impression that the people in charge don't really understand how geocaching works. We told him about the cache in trash out. We also told him that having caches in the parks would increase the number of people in the parks to pickup trash and watch for vandals. We have heard threw the grape vine that the state park system is going to address the issue in the up coming months. Hopefully they do and it is a good outcome.
