To hide a new geocache in your area...
Please make sure to obtain permission from the landowner or land manager and
read the guidelines for reporting a cache prior to placing your geocache.
and
By submitting a cache listing, you assure us that you have adequate permission
to hide your cache in the selected location.
So basically if you placed a cache and did not ask permission
from the land manager or notify someone you were placing it then you
have already violated Groundspeaks rules.
As for this person at REI.. He might want to be very careful.
If you remember his name I would very much like to know what it is. I
have a friend in California who works for REI as a paid geocacher Yep.. He gets paid to take people out and teach them caching.. Paid by REI...
So if you know this individuals name are REI, I would love to
pass it along to my buddy in Cali and seem what the discussion becomes.
If you go back into REI and he is there, I really would like to know
his name.
Hope this helps.
Find out which REI he works at. :) At the very least, unless something
is done about it by the manager, it can become a business formally
boycotted by cachers, who as I recall, are quite the outdoor enthusiast
in a number of instances.
