TFTIMM! Or Thanks for this info Motorcycle Mama

Hi fols Just to let you know: This multi came on line yesterday: GC1F1QB (Dutch language only, sorry) Thanks for all your input.

Hi Guinness In this particular cache, the cache itself is a bonus, not the goal. I prepared 16 points along a route that with GPS set to "shortest distance" creates a nice biking route. It does not require to go off the bike, and all via points clues are very easy to find. Set up is like this: "What's the number of the postbox you are seeing = xx (2 digits) "Fill in this number on the following positions" N 5.12.345 E004.12. * * 5 So the most parts of the coords are visible, only the missing one or to has to be found on the spot. Works perfectly. I let 3 people trace the route to exclude errors by now, so the set up is tested. All via points are on normal open roads, with parking or stopping space. It's really a fun way to ride a bike! And no one knows the route in advance, so it still has the surprise element like a cache hunt. And at the end there is the cache (now waiting for the reviewers to clear) :-)

@ Above: THis particular cache needs to be printed in a form that it fits most tankbags (A5 is a good size). So I needed a format could be limited in with. At this time I am almost done!!! YEAH!!! One question remains: All clues give one to three digits of the coordinates that are missing. But to make things even more simple (in case people get lost) I want to include the full coordinates in small print as well. In the paper version I just printed it vertically. Works fine. For the web version I need to encrypt these waypoints (I guess) . I have seen some encryption code in HTML I think. Can you tell what it is??

Thanks for bringing back the better spirit again ;-)

So many rules .... :-( I sure takes out all the fun of it. And since the Groundspeak site does not offer a simple wysiwyg html function like in many other websites, making a cache page is pretty complicated business. I have spend hours making a perfect cache / motor ride, but making it "official" now holds me off... :-/

This particular cache is a motorcycle route- cache. So printing it is necessary in almost any case (tankbag print) To give you a clue what I am talking about, here is the document (in Dutch but you get the idea) -- link now deleted, served it's purpose--

Question: I created a new multi cache in a WORD doc. It contains tables, layout and a picture. I am not very good at HTML and am afraid that the layout of my waypoints and text description gets lost, or at least it would not print the way I like it. Is it allowed and possible in a Multi cache description to include a link to a word document (placed on the internet) so people can download the description and print it in the format I like?? Ofcourse the cache page itself will hold the starting coordinates and a general description like route / length etc. ???????????

Funny ;-) But i like the lateral thinking...

See. I'm not nuts :-) (Just ambitious with my first cache ever -lol- )

Yo mama! Thanks for the welcome Nice to see you are here. Feel at home already. I kept it simple enough. Only 185Km (and a full day trip) @ Irosell : If you file the coords of the final stage in that multi, then I guess people won't see it as a traditional in the listings. [thinking] But you could encrypt these coordinates. But will people understand this and try to find just the cache without doing the motorcycle route? Or would it be a waste of time (and perhaps spoil the MC route) Thoughts?

Hi folks Currently I am working on a multi cache. Actually a motorcycle cache wit a start coordinate. 20 (easy) waypoints on paper discription, and an end cache that I would like to make "official". Now this would mean to create a -multi cache- page. But the finish line cache is also on a nice place where it could serve as a "traditional" (so without the multi cache descriptions). Is it possible to create a single cache / hiding place, but give it two descriptions and cache numbers ?? I don't care much about the paper logs mixing, but it would be nice to have them both. Thanks for your thoughts....
