I just did my first one July 10th and had a blast. It was called the Mt. Nebo Excursion (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=22762) by Deep Creek, Maryland. It had seven stages and IMHO this was the best way to do it. I should have taken pictures.
One of the more important things done was description of the terrain. The woods apparently through the accuracy way way off 60ft+. The first one took 30 minutes to find. We looked under logs, under rocks, read all the graphiti etc. The first cache contained cards which gave the coordinates of the next location. In addition, a description of the surroundings was also given, “a lone tree in a meadow”, “ a stump near a stream”, ”in a pine forest”, etc.
Depending on the accuracy of the devices, you should always include some kind of description (I’m no Donald Trump). At one point we were close to a quarter mile away and the GPS said we were close.
I would ask those with godlike GPSs to please take mercy us poor folk.
How accurate do you make the coordinates when you hide a cache?
in How do I...?
