I usually try not to point out people's idiocy in such a blunt way, but I had to on this one. Log on a puzzle cache: Got the green light on the coordinate checker but couldn't find the actual cache...4 of us looking. Looked at past logs...we are on correct sode of road...buy cache is nowhere to be found. Gonna log this as a found cache since the coordinated checked...but couldn't sign log. TFTC puzzl! First time up here!! ----- I found the cache about a week later, which had some coord issues that were addressed in previous logs. My log: Fun puzzle! Cache is definitely still there. To save you some scrolling: coords are off. Add .016 to west coord once you solve to get the right location. Also, don't mark a cache as found if you didn't actually find it. Log it as a dnf because, well, you didn't find it. This helps the CO stay updated on the status of their cache. Cheers and happy caching. ------ </logs> Imagine if you went to the store to buy a toy for your kid, knew the correct aisle it was on, came home, and told him you bought it even though you couldn't find it in the store. Makes about the same amount of sense as the previous finder. Sheesh, some people. P.S. The CO has a lot of great puzzle caches in the area and soon fixed the coord issue.

"That is some well camouflaged tupperware, nice job!" I like to imagine that being said in a normal situation like at a house party when someone comes in with some chips and dip. We're also the only people in the world that have to lie by saying "I'm on a scavenger hunt" to avoid explaining in depth what a grown person is actually doing rooting around the bushes in a park.

Not so much "smiley mentality" as risk/reward ratio. Go for five traditionals, if one has a problem the reward of four successes overrides the risk of putting in effort of five caches. Even if all five caches are a bust, at least one gets to potentially experience five interesting locations. Yeah! That's exactly why I wanted to make each one able to stand on its own- they are all going to be worthwhile caches, thanks for pointing out the risk/reward factor, and for your previous comment about making it 3 trads and a mystery, that's what I suspected it would be. And who doesn't love a smiley? Smileys are rad and if someone puts in the effort to find a cache then, gosh darnit, they should get a smiley. And if you hate micros, you get a baller ammo can at the end for putting up with them! Everyone's happy! Anyways, I'm gonna think about this really hard and make sure I do the best job in in the true spirit of the game- getting outside and having fun and finding interesting things and places. I have a sweet vintage ammo can that I can't wait to place, it's my dad's from when we used to live in Canada and he's got some chronic health problems and can't really move around very well. He likes hearing my stories about caching and I wanted to make a really special cache with it so that I can tell him how people enjoyed finding it, he'll really get a kick out of it. I'll post the cache on this thread when it gets published so y'all can check it out. Thanks to those of you that left positive, constructive feedback (like the paint pens, what a great idea!) I think I got it from here

Cool! Thanks, everyone! Looks like I'll go for three traditionals (spaced far apart enough) and a mystery and see how the reviewer likes it. Sounds like easiest way to make each one loggable. Thanks again for your input.

Hey all, There's a cool little greenway ripe for some caches. I have a few questions though. Here's the plan: I want to place 3 magnetic key holders and an ammo can. The ammo can will have a lock on it that you get the combination to by visiting each of the caches and getting a single number to the combo from each. I was also thinking about putting the latitude in one cache and the longitude in another (along with combo numbers) for the final container. 1- Can I make each cache findable on its own so people can log each one if they don't have time or don't want to find all 4? 2- Does this sound more like a mystery cache or a multi-cache? 3- Any suggestions are welcome Thanks a bunch.
