I started out making a lot of 2's into 5's, but then I started realizing all the geo-trails that we were creating through the woods, and up hills that would contribute to erosion. i've seen geo-trails go straight up hillsides that are more like climbs. (the trails always start where my GPS starts going up in feet again) So now I walk around to save the forest.
We just keep walking trails until we're under 25 feet to get to the cache. Most caches are right on the trails, I've learned the hard way. So now i just hope the trail winds around in that direction. If not, well I'll get in a good walk anyway.
Definately made some 2's into 5's by going caching in the snow. Dig here, dig there. No cache. OK, dig over here. Still no cache. I dont' recommend it.
