SCUBACache: As per the request of the Park Warden in Waterton Lakes National Park (See below), this cache is no longer available. My only goal in placing the cache was to give fellow GeoCachers a taste of what I consider to be one of the best National Parks in Canada. Sorry for any inconveniences.
Dear SCUBACache:
Greetings from the Park Warden office in Waterton Lakes National Park, site of your goecache. Pleae be informed that in keeping with Parks Canada Agency policy, in that 'geocaching' is not an appropriate activity in a National Park, I found and removed the cache to the warden office today.
Some reasons for geocaching not being appropriate in a National Park:
- damaged to areas caused by people searching for caches. eg. At this time of year, your cache is next ot a gorgeous glacier lily meadow, which could be much damaged by folks seeking the cache.
- development of new trails
- and simply, it is not an activity that directly values and promotes an understanding of National Parks
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I think what I may do is re-cache the item outside the park in an area (nearby forest reserve) for example that allows such activities.
Or, if you plan to be in the area you could retrieve your cache.
Thanks,
Keith McDougall
Park Warden
