Subject: [LbNA-WM] Letterboxes on Open Space
Jefferson County Open Space has seen a large increase in geocaching and
letterboxing. Unfortunately, some of the sites are in sensitive areas
or in areas that have seasonal closures. While we do allow placement of
caches and letterboxes, site owners must apply for and receive a special
activity permit prior to placing anything on Open Space property. Your
website lists several letterboxes that do not have permits. Is there a
way for you to contact the placers and ask them to contact Jefferson
County Open Space to get a permit? While most the sites would be
approved, all letterboxes without permits will have to be removed. The
following is a list of the sites without permits...
Zeke's Letterbox
Soar Feet
Rain Cloud
Wheel of the Year - Litha
Deer Creek
Stick Deer
Homesteader Trail
White Ranch Park
Your assistance in contacting the placers is appreciated.

I think it's wonderful that they actually bothered to contact the
website instead of simply pulling the boxes. We owe them the courtesy
of either adopting the boxes or pulling them ourselves.

You are absolutely right, (although not a very MEAN pirate at the
moment). At any rate this list includes some of our earliest (besides
Drewclan) and most beloved boxes. I am pretty sure they will be
permitted rather than pulled. As you say, the fact that they
contacted Wes leads me to believe they are willing to work with us.
