Two geocaches listed on your website are located within the Black Elk
Wilderness, a congressionally-designated area where caches are prohibited.
I request that you immediately remove your website references to these
geocaches and that you contact the owners and advise them that the caches
must be physically removed as soon as possible.
The Iron Mountain Picnic Area Cache is located at N 43*, 51.333; W 103*,
26.331
The Mountain Goat Cache is located at N 43* 52.911; W 103* 28.964
The persons that placed the caches will not be prosecuted but will be given
information on where caches can and cannot be located on National Forest
lands
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thanks,
