GEOCACHE REGISTRATION INFORMATION

http://www.geocaching.com

Geocache Placement Guidelines  
1.  Anyone wanting to set up a cache site on park property needs to fill out a Geocache/ Letterbox permit application first.  Permits will not be issued before we receive a completed application.
 2.  All application sites will be checked by staff prior to the issuing of a permit.
 3.  A permit is valid from the date issued to December 31 of the current year.  After that date, the cache must be removed or re-permitted.  There is no fee for the permit. 
 4.  Caches are to be monitored monthly and maintained as a family friendly cache.  Caches should contain no food, alcohol, firearms, drugs, and any dangerous or adult items.  If a cache violates this agreement, it will be removed and not returned.  An initial contents list may be required before receiving a permit.
 5.  All caches need to be within 20 feet of an already established park trail.  Any off-trail hiking is discouraged as it negatively impacts the native plants and animals.
 6.  Not every park is a suitable site for a cache.  Certain management activities and/or rare species may render an area unsuitable for a cache.
 7. All caches must be located on or at ground level in a safe, non-metal container (No Ammo Boxes).  No caches are to be buried.
 8. Each Geocache/ Letterbox must have a separate application, even if the same person is applying.
 9. Any Geocache/ Letterbox found without a permit will be removed and not returned to the owner.
 10.  Good luck and enjoy the search.
