I was informed of this by a friend of mine who is a county Supervisor. He was NOT in favor of this new rule and brought up several reasons against the new rule. He and 4 other supervisors were not in favor but most did not heed to their suggestions. I would advise calling the county and making your opinion known. I see this driving more use of geocaching to the city and state parks.
The reasoning behind this new rule is they want to have funding to help keep endangered and fragile areas growing if geocachers walk on them. This in my opinion would not help as when placing caches we should be observing other park rules, such were to walk and not walk.
Here is the info for contacting them, they won’t know people’s opinion if no one speaks up.
