Geocaching and Land Managers

This is not going to be a popular topic for a lot of people. Either they are not interested in geocaching or they hate getting regulated on anything. There has been a permitting policy by the IDNR when it comes to placing geocaches on the state land they maintain. It is mainly just some paperwork to make sure they know where they are and so they are not in an ecologically sensitive area. I hate being regulated but as regulations go it is not a bad one. One of the reasons it is there is so when they have a planned burn, the cache does not get burnt up as well. They did some burns this spring and one of friends caches still got fried up. We helped replace it. The toy soldiers were fused together like an apocalyptic horror show. I guess more work is needed for police the caches when things are burned. Pokagon has gotten really friendly towards geocaching which is good but there is still room for improvement for IDNR/geocacher relations from both sides. Meanwhile, I will just try my best to do the right things and hopefully it will make things better. Some people will never be satisfied.
