Mike, the Frisbee rule is probably reasonable on most public land. But it
would never be reasonable on private property. Walmart parking lots,
shopping centers, business parking lots, etc. are all private property and
require permission of the land owner. The problem is most people do not
recognize that these kinds of areas are private property. I still do not
understand why the cache placement guidelines do not specifically and
clearly point out parking lots and shopping centers are private property and
require permission of the landowner. Glenn, do you know why they don't do
it? If they had permission to place the cache there, this never would have
happened. This would not be funny for a cache placer if the landowner sued
for loss of business for an evacuation. When I recently found the Motel 6
Nano (which is clearly on private property), the General Manager came out
and wanted to know why I was taking pictures of the dumpster. He knew
nothing about it and did not even know what Geocaching was. So I had to
explain it all to him and he seemed OK with it. I wish there was a
requirement for caches on private property to specifically state in the
cache description that permission has been obtained. The cache description
of all my caches on private property begin with, "This cache is on private
property (with permission)".
