[QUOTE="AngerManagement, post: 439960, member: 3760"] I have done recoveries in National parks / State Forests and have to say the Rangers and and Department people i have spoken to have been helpful and supportive.... But also quite clear as to what might happen if I was to be found to be doing more that what was agreed to... As one said to me, You have explained and have had the owner also validate your reasons for requesting access. Should you decide to do other stuff as well; ie you are attempting to pull a swiftie; then you will be in breach of any number of regs etc and the fine and loss of you gear will be the least of your concerns... A court case will determine if you get your car and gear back :-) He was the same ranger that then directed me to another area, where others had reported lost items. Found some scrap and a cheep ring but nothing substantial.. He was a top guy, but would not want to cross him... He has since been transferred to another park, which is a shame.... [/QUOTE]
