    I had a very nice chat with the local DNR Land Manger who I have worked with in the past. He said that he attended a meeting with other mangers and he said the Geocaching is getting to be very big. He said that the other mangers have been getting a lot of notification forms.

    I ask if there where any problems brought up and he said there were none. He said everyone was on board about geocaching in the State.

    He said there were many going out and looking for caches now. That could be a good or bad thing, but I’d say it good. He said that the feeling with his group of mangers was that it land open to the public and everyone should be able to use it. No. I did not get into SNL’s or whatever they are called.

    I asked him about a DNR canoe landing that is just outside of town and across the street form his office and said that there would be no problem about it even thou it is on the Scenic River way cuz it DNR property and was also told by an official of the NPS that it would be OK to place one there..

    So there you have it gang! You work with them, they’ll work with you!

    I’m thinking that this was a meeting of the northern area mangers but have no idea really. All I can say that there has been very good cooperation and relationship between geocachers and the DNR “UP NORTH”!

    Great information! I hope the DNR managers around me were at that meeting. Some have been nice to work with but others have not even replied to messages.

    Cheezehead,

    Thanks for the glowing report. We have heard similar reports from land managers in SE Wis as well; but it is great to hear that the positive attitudes exist in your corner as well.

    Keep playing nice with them and they won’t take the ball away.

    I would not have discussed Saturday Night Live with him either. 😉

    But seriously, I’m glad you had a positive interaction there. We need as much of that as we can get. It’s nice to hear about things from the DNR side, too, and it is sounding pretty good!
