Just perusing through the geocaching website (even though I'm not a
geocacher, just happened to find a couple by accident) and have found
the following concerning placing geocaches in PA state parks. You
can read the entire discussion at

(you'll have to copy both lines there to get the link properly).

Thought this was interesting since we've had this sort of discussion
about asking permission before. Seems, at least in PA, that
geocachers have started this process, but I'm not sure it is a good
thing for many reasons... Thoughts?? The draft of the permission
form can be found through the above link.

At Groundspeak, we recently received a letter [copied below]
regarding permission to place caches in Pennsylvania State Parks. For
future reference, permission to place caches may be requested from
the contact person for the Bureau of State Parks: Charlie Meade Park
Manager Operations Section Harrisburg, PA (717) 787-2191
cmeade@state.pa.us

Here is the original letter:

Dear Sirs:
I am Ranger Supervisor Richard Fischer of Presque Isle State Park in
Erie County, PA. I would like to advise you the Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of State Parks, requires
the person(s) who establish a cache location in a Pennsylvania state
park must first attain permission to do so. Geocaching Guidelines as
well as a registration form are available at any state park. Without
these forms the establishment of a cache is prohibited. Please pass
this information on to your geocaching community.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Richard Fischer - rfischer@state.pa.us
