      Just saw this posted at the MNGCA website.

      Geocaching Now Allowed in MN State Forests

      Congratulations to the MNCGA for successfully working with thier DNR to take this huge step forward to return geocaching to MN state owned lands.

        Looks like the Minnesota Geocaching Association got it right. Even after Geocaching was banned, they don’t require a DNR Notification Form. This is the way is SHOULD be. Congratulation to the MNGCA!!

          Interesting … the MN DNR site has a park rules page that was update 9/14/06 … it indicates a Permit IS required … http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/rules.html … but you need to get it at a park office.

          Personally … I think it’s good that WI requires permits … I don’t see any reason we should assume we have the right to hide stuff on land and be allowed to keep it a secret from the person(s) that are responsible for overseeing that property.

            Ahhhhh! I see the difference now … permit is required in the PARKS, but not in the FORESTS.
