It sounds like a different variation of the "Christmas
Walk" that some towns hold to get people going into their
businesses to see what's there. As long as you know what
you are getting in for before you go there, I have no
problem with the activity but it shouldn't be called
geocaching.
It doesn't hold any interest for me and I wouldn't
participate if it was across the street. It's a marketing
gimick and really doesn't give anyone any idea as to what
Geocaching is all about. I'd bet that 80%-90% of the people
won't either have a GPSr or will have to be spoonfed the
location of the hidden container.
The idea that you were talking about is a lot different and
would get me interested.

I guess if it is not listed on GC, you can commercialize
the heck out of it! Sounds like what BWAT and I are doing
in Hannibal next fall only we are not going to make people
go into the business unless they want to.
Opinions?

It's not just the destination, but also the path you take
and the friends you make along the way.
