New York Admin: Walkin'Ed summed it up pretty well in his SBA log.
[quote]The cache is on private property and the owner has not given permission for its placement. The owner is aware that there is a geocache on his property, but he said that he has not granted permission and does not know where it is. He does allow people to search for it if they purchase his apples. That makes this a commercial geocache which is not allowed.[/quote]
Sorry, we can not ask people to make a purchase in order to find a cache.
