wandat24 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 OK, I didn't get a chance to put my other caches out this weekend, I had a family thing i had to do. Anywho, One of them i will be caching will be in front of a Stockyard. I'm wondering who I shoulda ask about placing this one, or if I need to. It's a sales Stockyard, and they also have a small cafe there. Should I just go in and talk to who ever it is that runs the cafe, or atlest let them know about the cach being there and what it looks like, or just place the cache? It wouldn't look strange to anyone driving by, someone looking for the cache, but it may look strange to somone inside. Also Thursdays, and special occation days are the bussiest days, so I will probably put in there to use cotion on Thursdays and any other day it looks like anyone is there (I guess Wed and Thurs. would be the busy days, as all the farmers are there the day before also, well a lot of em are).

+Yamahammer Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 It is always best to contact the owners/managers before placing anything on provate property. ... Just answering what was asked. Good luck Quote Link to comment
wandat24 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 That's what i was thinking. I'm pretty sure since it's a stockyard it would be private property, and there for i need to ask. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 When I'm confronted with an issue like this, I often turn to the Geocachers' Creed. Item number three is "Respect property rights and seek permission where appropriate." Lots of good advice there. Quote Link to comment
+badlands Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Even if it’s on public property, it would be courtesy to the owners of the businesses near by to let them know what’s going on. Quote Link to comment
+Kai Team Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Yup. especially in this day and age of terrorist worries, it's important to ask permission. Ask someone who works there if they can direct you to the person who owns or manages the stockyard. That's the person you should talk to. And, on the assumption that even if that person gives permission they might not tell everyone who could stumble upon your cache, be sure to clearly label the cache on the outside of the container (preferrably on all sides, since you never know which way it will be put back) and provide contact information (e.g. an email address). An ammo can cache in our area (in a public park) was recently blown up by the bomb squad, so we're more sensitive to this issue! Quote Link to comment
