Marko Ramius: I'm sorry, but this cache was one of a list of caches identified by the Cleveland National Forest land managers as being too far off trail. This is the message received:
[i][b]Its been awhile sense I've had to contact to you. In case you don't remember, I am a volunteer with the Cleveland National Forest. The Forest staff have identified a few caches that they want removed to prevent resource damage.
They have really started cracking down on Geocaches that are "off the trail" because of the high fire danger and dry season.
They do NOT want to outright ban Caches in the forest because they know it brings visitors. However, in the past they where allot more lenient on what they considered OK. The new directive is that if you have to leave the trail to retrieve it they want it removed.[/b][/i]
Thank you for your understanding.
