I asked permission from St. Charles County for my ROW series. However,
one guy told me that no one would ever give me permission because it
made them liable. He said "just place it but, I really didn't say that."
He was an administrator of some sort so I considered this all the
permission I needed. I actually talked to 2 or 3 people but none of them
had the authority to approve it. This was for a single cache. 

Guard rails and street signs are usually county property. There is a law
in St. Charles County that nothing can be attached to any traffic
control including stop signs, etc... I don't know if they consider a
guard rail a traffic control. If so, then a few of mine fall in that
category.

I asked a question a while back about the "frisbee rule" and most said
that they would never use it to place a cache. I have my suspicions that
people who did reply and those that didn't weren't as forthcoming and
honest as they could have been, but that's another discussion...
Anyway...toward the end, I asked if caches placed on guardrails, street
signs, park benches, etc. utilized the frisbee rule as well. I got no
response...guilty consciences, perhaps? LOL...

Either way, since someone mentioned the frisbee rule again I will ask
the question again...are caches placed on those signs, rails, etc.
governed under the frisbee rule as well? I am sure that anyone here who
has placed caches like that didn't get permission from MODOT or any
other governing agency to place.
