Dot Plotter: Archived per land manager policy (see attached email):
Geocaching is permitted as a dispersed recreation opportunity on our district but is not allowed in developed recreation sites. Developed sites are those that have parking areas,
rest-rooms, picnic tables, etc. Cascades is one of our more developed and most used sites and is not considered a dispersed rec opportunity. Plus it is a national recreation trail.
I would also like to add that we discourage any geocaches from containing implements of fire making. This is especially important in drought years but is also because one never knows who it is that will find the cache and we would not want to endanger the life of a child with non-family friendly items.
Thanks again for your efforts
