Don't think anything negative was said about the policy. We just expressed some
concerns. Saw John yesterday at lunch and we discussed the policy and the work
increase based upon the caches that will be adopted. If all caches stay as they
are, he will have 17 to deal with instead of 7. No big deal. John has bent over
backwards for us and I thanked him at lunch yesterday for being so supportive
of Geocaching.
I only wished we could have had some input into the policy but, we can work
with it.
Teresa is absolutely right about the number of caches at Weldon Spring and
Busch. We are very fortunate. Keep in mind that the vast majority of those
caches are along the Hamburg trail and do not interfere with fish, forest and
wildlife resources. Also, it doesn't interfere with other users. I think this
is a good thing.
I would also like to add that if anyone has caches here, get your paperwork
done and turned in within the next week. John expects us to comply and we
should,
Mike

Everyone should be careful what they say about the new MDC caching policy.
Teresa reads the freelist. See her comments below:
From Teresa Kight - MDC Recreation Specialist
April 22, 2009
The limit of caches per person is to provide opportunity for more than just one
person to place a cache on an area, however there will also be limits to how
many total caches a manager can or will allow on an area - this is the part
left to the manager's discretion. Weldon Spring just happens to have more than
the typical number of requests to place a cache, so there are a lot there. I
am not aware of a similar situation on any other area. So it's not that we are
setting up the managers to choose between letting 2 people have 50 caches each,
or 50 people have 2 caches each. There won't be too many areas where that many
caches would be allowed in the first place; the Busch/Weldon Spring areas just
seem to be the exception. The geocaching policy is more about recognizing
other uses and management activities occurring on Conservation Areas, and being
able to limit the total number of caches so as not to impact the fish, forest
and wildlife resources or interfere with other area uses or users.

Here's what I am going to do. I am going to put these 3 on one permit:
Trails to Rails (GC16TKR)
Along the Hamburg Trail (GC16TMX)
Turnout (GC16TNB)
That puts these 2 up for adoption:
Hamburg Mile Marker (GC16TN4)
Should Have Been An Ammo Box (GC16TNE)

Mike (Tolleybrew),
Suggestion, put whatever caches you
want to adopt out on here and I am sure someone will step up to help on this
because we all want to see the caches to pretty well stay in the St. Louis area
up and running. Even though MDC has come up with new rules for caching. I am
helping Bernie on 3 of his so post them and see what happens. Ed NØWNV
