>From: Anne Vawser <[log in to unmask]> [via fpforum] Geocaching is the
>newest thing in treasure hunting
><http://www.geocaching.com/articles/making.asp>. The idea is to create a
>cache and have others try to find it using GPS units. [The site] trys to be
>conscientious, [but] they seem to be missing the point. They recommend
>contacting the "local or National Park Service Rangers" if placing a cache
>on public land. Federal agencies might want to work with this group to
>encourage them to advise cachers not to place buried caches without first
>consulting the appropriate public land manager. They also recommend picking
>a unique place like "Any historical location, old war bunkers, ghost towns,
>near old train tracks, islands, scenic park trails, etc." as a good place
>to create a cache (read Anasazi Ruin).
