Not that I have a problem with the idea of this cache, I do see it as
'commercial'.  It mentions right in the cache description that an entry fee
will be charged for those wishing to attend.  If REI (or similar) were to do
something like this, it would never be approved and we would all complain
about it.
 
The difference between this one and the BOB event or the DBG cache (which
also require admission) is that those caches are put out by a geocacher with
nothing to gain from others attending.  This event is sponsored by the
Museum and gains everything from cachers attending.
 
Before you go and criticize, let me say that I have visited the Museum
before and paid my entry fee.  Several times.  But in the case of caches, I
don't think it's appropriate.  Hold it on Sunday when there is no admission
required.

What a great idea! There are some problems with the cache as it's currently
described, not the least of which is the conflict with the Campout event
cache. I've sent a note to Kristy Miller letting her know about the
conflict, and a couple of other items I thought might be clarified. I've
also offered to work with her or the museum if they need any help with it.
 
I'd love to see this be something that gets huge attendance, particularly
from the Phoenix area cachers. I'm also hoping that perhaps they can change
the date so it doesn't fall on the holiday weekend. I wonder if the Republic
would cover it?
