PUBLIC DOMAIN GeoCaching Logo
In October of 2002 It became evident to a number of geocachers that there was a need for a logo that depicted geocaching in general as opposed to representing a person or group overseeing or profiting from geocaching. This new logo would be public domain so anyone could use it as-is or alter is any way they desired.
After many very creative designs were submitted, it became apparent two designs were admired by the majority. The most popular one was created by Leatherman, often called the “GX”, which is a simple design that can be written in the field and is easily recognized. Following very closely is the detailed logo designed by Gustaf, which could be used to make some nice coins or other fancy trademark items. Visit this website for artwork you can use.

New ATV trail maps are out
The Kisatchie National Forest has released its new road maps and has gone out and posted new signs on all the roads. The new signs are not as stated in the orginal statements. They open the roads to any ATV use from OCT to Jan. So it looks like we now have more roads open to ATVs.
As soon as I can get a sign photo I will pst it here.

Natchez Trace-Harrisonburg Road
Located in a fork on the Natchez Trace Harrisonburg Road. This is the real road you can see the wagon ruts if you look close.
This is the real road where the were the West and Kimbrill Clan (whose membership briefly included Frank and Jesse James) would rob and kill people as they drove through Winn parish.
Access from the road to the north not the south. Look for a old cem rd that heads into the woods going south. Road is not passable in a car due to mud holes.
The cache is located near the old abandoned cemetery used by travlers of the time.
Sunk into a old stump hole and filled in so only the top is exposed just unscrew the top do not remove. Please recover with straw.

Kisatchie National Forest Increase Recreation Fees
PINEVILLE ”New recreation fees will go into effect January 1, 2008 at some Kisatchie National Forest sites. All new fees will be clearly posted at the sites on the information board. “The funds collected from fees will be used to maintain and enhance recreation sites and trails, said Forest Supervisor, Gretta Boley. “The Forest Service has interviewed many trail riders and campers. The majority of people interviewed are in agreement with increasing fees, if the money is used for operation, maintenance and construction of the new amenities,†Ms. Boley continued. Some Kisatchie trails remain free. However on trails where there is a charge anyone riding an OHV, bicycle or horse will be charged the same fee. Additional information, maps and discount permits can be obtained at all Kisatchie National Forest offices. For more information please call 318-473-7160 during regular business hours, call 1-866-830-6467 after hours, or refer to the KNF website at: www.kisatchie.us for updated information.

UTVs in the National Forest
The NFS is putting together another ride for utvs on November 15th on the Sandstone trail at Red Dirt. Everyone is invited. We will meet at 10 am at the Lotus Camp Trailhead. Bring you drinks and lunch…
Several Caches are in the area.
Be sure and mark your calender. We have a unique chance here to get some trails designated or open to utvs. Hopefully we can get a group of at least three “lay” people to rub elbows with the forestry people.
The date for this ride has been changed from the 15th to the 28th and now the 29th. Still for 10 am at the Lotus camp. I’m hoping the weather will permit this to happen. I don’t want to lose any momentum we have on this. It sure would be great if the trail could be reopened in the spring for our rhinos…Ms Jackie and Jim are working hard for us on this. They just have to convince some nay sayers.
