Just wanted to follow up on this. I know I am in a 'small' town so it is easier
for me to deal with here. I have given a list of my geocaches in the area to
the local police. They also have my phone number in case it ever is an issue.
THe parks department also has a list so if their workers stumble upon a cache
they know what it is. The know that there are other caches in the area too and
that they can call on me if they need to find about something that might be a
cache. Working with them has increased the willingness of the town be cache
friendly. Works here, but not sure how it would work in the 'big city'.
