I came across a post on facebook where a guy askef for permission to search for a lost ring in the beach of a National park.(Point Reyes) ...
Funny you should mention Pt. Reyes. That, with GGNR along there, is federal. And supposedly off-limits .
A few years ago, a friend of mine in S.F. got asked to look for a ring that a lady lost "on the beach". As the Lady and my friend scheduled and arranged the search time/date/location, he suddenly realized that the particular beach was part of GGNRA.
Hmmmm, what to do, what to do. He fretted and worried about it, ... wondering if he should contact the federal powers-that-be. In the end, he decided that since his hunt was a legitimate (not contrived) search, that he was just going to print out the email exchange (and CL lost & found ad, etc..) and carry it with him, if anyone said anything to him. We joked with him that he should make sure to make *WIDE CIRCLES* first, around the suspected beach-chair zone she'd been at. *Just* in case it wasn't exactly where she thought (ie.: to "take his time", haha).
He went out, spent a long time there, and no one ever said so much as "boo" to him. Can't remember if he found the ring or not.
