If the frisbee rule didn't rear its ugly head again, I was going to bring it
up here, but ... now I don't have to. Glad that I read to the end before
replying, Thanks Michael. FTW indeed! Line forms to the left. Where do I get
off?
I was stopped by the STLPD while searching for "king's ransom". They assured
me that nothing like that could possibly endure "around here" for very long.
They'd never heard of geocaching and seemed genuinely concerned that I was off
my meds or trying to score some crack. Ironically all the dealers thought that
I was the man ...

Yes, I agree...however sometimes by telling everyone and their grandmother
about this, you could cause more problems than necessary. One merely has to
skim the GC.com website to read of accounts of people dutifully doing just
what you say and having outrageous stipulations given to them by those in
government not attuned to our little underground hobby. Such stipulations I
have seen have included having caches only available for one day and the cache
owner required to have a $1 million accident policy in place. Stupidity.
Or, one could simply just let sleeping dogs lie and have a good time. Sure,
occurrences like the one linked yet again by Glenn happen but they are few and
far between. I'll take those infrequent occurrences over the headache of
dealing with the morons in government any day. Frisbee rule, FTW.

Rich,
I think you've made our point right here. Around here, we are really
good about contacting who we need to contact to place a cache.
Sometimes this is mandatory, but others are a simple notification
(i.e. County Parks).
It will happen here eventually, but not nearly as often as other places.
Andrew
