Re: [GSAS-Member] Legal or Illegal?

I think it's better to ask forgiveness.  It's illegal to take things  
out of state and federal parks as far as I know.  I went on a rock- 
gathering expedition (in a state park) a few weeks ago that had to be  
put off during memorial day weekend because there were too many  
campers around.  I've found the best way to "get around" this is to  
act absolutely normal and pretend like you didn't know it was  
illegal.  Most of the time they'll let you off.  Just don't let them  
catch you dumping fish or plants BACK IN!
