Thanks so much to all of you - this is sooo helpful - what a wonderful community of folk!

You can ask you local reviewer what their source is for tribal land maps. You can also go the an event and meet local cachers who will know the land that is off limits---and maybe who to contact to try to get one placed on tribal land with permission (Hey, it could happen).

 

I found this source, which will give you a very rough idea. Just click on the area you are interested in and an area map pops up. Clicking again gives you a tiny bit more detail.

 

Thanks - haven't found any sign of local events here yet, but I'll keep an eye out.

I don't know what type of GPS you use. But on my Garmin Legend I go to the nearest cache page, and as long as the caches are .10 away minimum I should not have a problem.

 

Thanks - that's what I have too so I'll try that out over the weekend.

I load both my Found and Unfound caches for an area I am heading towards with the intention of placing a cache. That way I can make sure I am 528 feet away from any other cache.

 

If there is a Multi in the area, or a Puzzle cache, neither of which you have done, there is a chance you can still get caught by the Proximity rule since your cache has to be 528 feet away from any of the Multi-cache waypoints or the Puzzle cache location.

 

Forgive the basic questions, but once you've loaded in all the caches - how do you compare your prospective site with the nearest others to see if they are over 528 feet? Which view on the GPS will show that?

Thanks,

Carrie

Probably obvious answer, but ... I had a lovely cache rejected because of the 528 ft rule. Is there an easy way for me to check on distance to the nearest caches before I submit a cache for review? I don't want to waste the reviewers' time if I can check this out myself. Thanks! Second question - there's a lot of tribal land in my area, what's the best way to also make sure I don't accidentally place a cache on tribal land. I had another one rejected for that reason and was really surprised the location was tribal. Thanks all. I'm really enjoying browsing around the forum.
