Thank you for addressing this.

Very nicely stated. Especially like the MN reference!

[Mathman]

Great letter and very well written.

I’m ready to write my letter to TPTB should that be needed. Thanks Zuma.

Nice work. Thanks to you and the BOD for taking on this issue. Hopefully, opening communication with them will make for a mutually beneficial outcome.

I am thinking that if we dont get a decent response and an agreement to dialog that we should do a letter writing campaign. But not yet. I am also working on enlisting the support of the geotruckers group for that reason.

Dear Bob Spoerl:

My concern is related to the issue of the placement of geocaches within Wisconsin’s rest areas, and I am contacting you on behalf of the Wisconsin Geocaching Association. Our membership is very concerned that geocaches are not allowed in Wisconsin’s rest areas and note that geocaches are either allowed or encouraged in all other states except for Wisconsin.

Edited here to keep it short….

I would be very interested what type of response you get back from your elected officials.

Is that true? Every state but Wisconsin allows this? Reading that statement really made me cringe as most “every” and “all” statements turn out to be false.

i watered it down a bit, because ND may also not allow caches, but I havent yet nailed that down. But, yeah, every state I have been in allows geocaches. There is nothing on line about ND not allowing rest area caches, but it is a report. Still, that leaves only 2 backwards states.

I’ve spoken to this gentleman person — so good luck…

Thanks Ralph for taking the initiative on this issue. I know that I had casually mentioned this to you a while back, and it is nice to see that you and the WGA board of directors is so very responsive to membeship concerns. Thanks you.

Thanks Bec. Is this the guy that you thought was an obstinate cross-dressing curmudgeon or is this the cross-eyed nitwit? I get those two mixed up.
