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?
