Thanks to those that attended.. a great weekend was had by us and from what I've heard by the others that made the trip too... Nelson is an amazing area and hope you got to see all the beautiful spots we selected for geocaches..
Would like to hear from anyone who has a story they would like to share...
We were in The Border Watch this week and am in the process of talking to the Portland Observer now to be published next week, so keep an eye open for that...
Great time to be a geocacher... enjoy the other coming events, SA, QLD, Canberra... and watch this space another BIG Little Event is coming..
Best wishes,
James

I'd like to do a cache where the participants would have to find the answers to a "puzzle" to discover the coordinates of the cache. These questions would be on the cache page and the cache page would have all the information necessary to solve those questions. However, to get credit for the find (Smiley) they would have to email me the answers to four additional questions that can only be solved with additional information found in the cache itself or the cache location.
I'm not sure this qualifies as a Puzzle Cache. What kind of cache would this be? And, is this type of cache even allowed?
Although it is not allowed by current rules, who says the rules should not be changed to grow with the sport? I would have no problem doing a cache like that if an interesting location.
Things sometimes need to change, a listing for nano sizes on cache pages for example..
