Obviously,<BR/>much as we want park visitors to enjoy their experience, we cannot allow a GPS activity if it<BR/>would lead to destructive behavior. Burying caches would generally violate 36 CFR 2.1(a), and<BR/>could violate other regulations, as well."<BR/><BR/>Either the NPS hasn't worked well with GC.com, or they haven't read the guidelines at GC.com or a combination of both, since if that had happened, they'd know that buried geocaches aren't allowed at GC.com.Paul Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159194518854240946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917070195539372703.post-70626521729080843592008-04-09T22:59:00.000-07:002008-04-09T22:59:00.000-07:00yeah, a rusty altoids tin stuffed under the lamp s...yeah, a rusty altoids tin stuffed under the lamp skirt in the parking lot of mount rushmore just doesn't seem right somehow.. :Pbenh57https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004419243032119696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917070195539372703.post-38107562084013468352008-04-09T22:52:00.000-07:002008-04-09T22:52:00.000-07:00I agree virtual caches seem more appropriate for n...I agree virtual caches seem more appropriate for national parks.Steve Natolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065464014596106967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917070195539372703.post-30663013532162891842008-04-09T21:35:00.000-07:002008-04-09T21:35:00.000-07:00NPS recently published a policy on GPS games:http:...NPS recently published a policy on GPS games:<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.nps.gov/policy/GPSguidance.pdf<BR/><BR/>This opens the door to permitting physical caches in national parks with approval of the park's superintendent. <BR/><BR/>However, i don't think any have been done yet.benh57https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004419243032119696noreply@blogger.com
