    Geocaching Labs: Mega-Event Caches

    in Geocaching HQ communications

    Posted

    I have been thinking of suggesting something similar for some time now. Having seen events that have temporary caches that are logged as multiple attended logs, I have thought an official form of temporary cache for events would be great. These should be for larger events but not only Mega’s.

     

    My thought was for an official temporary cache type tied to an event. Number would be limited to maybe just a few dozen or so. The spacing requirements would be lower maybe 200ft.. They would automatically archive a few days after the event. This would allow for fun cache related games or contests at an all day event without logging multiple attends which count as finds but not unique ones. These type of caches are also great for newbies to see different kinds of caches in a group event and learn a lot about the game. After the event some of these caches could be submitted to be permanent if they meet the requirements.

     

    I hope this is the direction we are heading with these Lab caches. If not I would hope Goundspeek might consider this type of event tied cache.

    Hello all,

     

    Decided this looked like a fun add-on to metal detecting, so bought an Oregon 450 and now trying to learn all I can about it. Anxious to go out and try finding some cache's but can't get out due to work etc... Sounds to me like a fun hobby.
