 |
|
Hi everyone - I wanted to pass along a note about a promotional event going on with the new Minnesota State Parks gift card and the Wildlife Safari caches in the parks:
With the release of the new Minnesota State Parks Gift Card, now through late December, cards filled with amounts ranging from $10 to $50 will be randomly appearing in Wildlife Safari geocaches found in Minnesota State Parks.
Work off your Thanksgiving dinner by hiking and geocaching over the holiday weekend - you may uncover a $50 gift card!
We have more information on our website: mnstateparks.info
Happy Hunting!! |

Why does this need to be cleared with Groundspeak? Is this any different then putting in $5 or $10 gift cards when placing a new cache as an FTF prize? Just wondering. |

Because inevitably some knucklehead will bring up whether or not the caches then have an aganda.. uh.. er.. at least on the national forums that would happen. I doubt it would happen here. |

The other 49 states do not have a monopoly on knuckleheads

| I like the fact that an MNGCA Board Member didn't post the promotion of this new product. |

Please refrain from stirring the pot any more with more off-topic posts. Thanks.

Nice score. The otter card could be worth more than the GC!
