I am surprised that a cache hasn’t been placed…

I got no problems with local lawmakers banning caches from certain areas such as cemeteries, rest stops, etc. If they want to do that, that’s their right as lawmakers to do so. There are plenty of other areas to cache in.

I’m not about to do letter writing campaigns to request a law or ordinance to be lifted in certain areas. I’ll just respect the law and go elsewhere. But that’s just me. To each his own.

The point is – not every cemeteries, rest stops, P & R, guardrails or lamp posts need to have a cache. Personally, I think it is a waste of time to try and get a law or ordinance lifted because the requests will most likely fall on deaf ears.

Todd,
I think the problem is that this (in the case of rest areas) is not a law or something decided by elected officials, but instead something decided by unelected state bureaucrats. It is up to US to get these fiats changed by dealing with our elected representatives. That is the nature of our representative democracy. (And that said, I would usually ignore rest area caches. Why would I want to geocache at a toilet at the side of the road? There are too many beautiful places to visit.)

I think there is a picture in the gallery here of one us cachers “examining” a old one-holer for a cache. Maybe it is really about the numbers then?
