I'm trying to post a new cache and instead of giving the exact coordinates of the cache I gave coordinates to a point about 50 feet away and then gave a couple hints as to where the actual cache is. But the person who is reviewing my cache keeps trying to say that I can't do this - I have to give the exact location. But I've retrieved caches that gave close coordinates, but not exact so I don't understand why other people can do this and I can't. I think it would fall under this category straight from the Cache Requirements and Guidelines...
"Offset caches are a variation on multi-caches. They are listed as a multi-cache when selecting a cache type. They are not found by simply going to some coordinates and finding a cache there. With the offset cache the published coordinates could be of an existing historical monument, plaque, or even a benchmark that you would like to have your cache hunter visit. At this spot, the hunter looks for numbers or information already appearing on the marker or on some part of the marker or site (geocachers never deface public or private property). The geocacher is then able to manipulate these numbers or information using instructions posted on the cache page to continue the hunt."
Help! Am I wrong??
