hellomikie92 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I am wondering if I needed to ask permission, a few parks around here has geocaches, hidden, but can I hide them at a park without asking permission. Another question do I have to give a reward out to the FTF? Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) FTF reward -- no. Permission -- usually. Parks are administered by somebody, usually a community gov't or another organization. They like to keep track of things that go on in their park. Not all parks allow it, even though there may be a geocache already there, so don't use that as an excuse to go ahead and do it anyway.

hellomikie92 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Okay, how do I ask them? Do I need to contact them through phone, or email, or snail mail? Thanks for the info btw. I have to ask the parks department right? Edited June 4, 2012 by hellomikie92 Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 First contact, probably email or telephone. To actually request the permission really should be done in a face-to-face contact. The reason being, that if the administrator has questions, they can be PROMPTLY answered .... and, the requestor's (you) sincerity stands tall. You can print one of these brochures: http://www.geocaching.com/tools/default.aspx#Guide They can help explain a lot, quickly. Quote Link to comment
