No need for the flame retardant suit, Dan! You are allowed your
opinion!:)
This event was set up by Kristy (who is just starting to get into
geocaching) and myself, with the gracious help of museum staff. Some
people at the museum fought Kristy on this because of past bad
publicity. But we figured it would mean more and be more "official" if
it happened at the museum where you can learn about archaeological sites
and proper etiquette around these sites...just made sense to us! The
museum in non-profit, they are shelling out the money for the supplies
and "prizes" (some of the prizes are REALLY nice, costing more than your
$2 admission). This was never intended to be commercial! We intended
it to be EDUCATIONAL! And as any teachers know, field trips make
learning fun...look at it like a field trip!:) The only things that
myself, Kristy and the museum hope to gain from this event is that maybe
we can create some positive publicity, introduce new people to
geocaching, meet some of our fellow geocachers that we haven't already
met, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, remind and make people aware that these sites
are very delicate and care must be taken around them to preserve them!
Just my thoughts:)
