+kayakanimal Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Should I mention my friend's kayak shop when making a boat only cache? Sorry...I'm a newbie here...kind of posted this twice. [This message was edited by kayakanimal on January 11, 2003 at 08:29 PM.] Quote Link to comment
+nincehelser Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 It depends. If you're just mentioning your friend's shop in casual passing, it's probably OK... Maybe... Perhaps...it's a real fuzzy area. If you're mentioning the store's name, address, and phone number, you're obviously going too far. To be safe, maybe you could get your friend to supply some promotional trade items that match the cache's theme, but don't talk about the store itself in the cache. Everyone would win that way.

+mtn-man Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Commercial Caches / Caches that Solicit What is a commercial cache? A commercial use of the web site cache reporting tool is an direct or indirect (either intentional or non-intentional) attempt to solicit customers through a geocaching.com listing. Examples include for-profit locations that require an entrance fee, or locations that sell products or services. http://www.geocaching.com/articles/requirements.asp Quote Link to comment
+kayakanimal Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 He offered some good "stuff" for the cache if I wanted. I just wanted to let fellow Geocachers have access to a water cache. But...I don't want to cause any waves. Quote Link to comment
+kayakanimal Posted January 11, 2003 Author Share Posted January 11, 2003 Yea I read that...I just didn't want someone thinking that I was trying to do that on the sly. Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 mention there is a boat shop nearby. That's all you need to do. People will find it if you mention it they will know it's there. most of us do research where we are going to some extent. Cache you later, Planet "To err is human, to forgive....$5.00" Quote Link to comment
+Freelens&Mosie Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Post the coordinates to the shop and say boats are available there. I have seen caches that have mentioned nearby restaurants and shops that have been approved with no problem. I doubt the guy is going to suddenly get rich off of the flood of geocachers to your cache. Then again what did you say was in it? A day without sunshine is like ...night. Quote Link to comment
+Jacksons Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I agree with Planet, mention there is a baot shop there should work fine I'm a man and I can change if I have to,I guess. Quote Link to comment
