Michael: The Corps of Engineers at Tuttle Creek Lake, Kansas recently learned of an incident regarding a geocache found by an innocent member of the public, who was concerned enough about an ammo can stashed in a public park to alert law enforcement officials. We therefore reviewed the inventory of sites at Tuttle Creek Lake, and we have concerns with four:
1. It's Our Fault, GC92AC: situated in a hazardous area, in an ammo can.
2. Stockdale View, GCKBPP: ammo can
3. Old Tuttle Road, GCN5QD: blackened container
4. Tuttle Creek ORV, GCGN1R: ammo can.
Corps policy mandates that caches be preapproved by the agency. Containers must be transparent, and cannot be placed in potentially hazardous locales. We would request that these caches be removed and the owners get in contact with us. Thank you.
