reading my post, I see I wasn't really clear. When anyone finds our cache, I would like feedback as to whether they think the difficulty we rated is accurate.
As to what we tried to find today...MurphyFamily/Murphy Park and Bee-ing in Arnold.
We were going to put one in Murphys Park a few weeks ago and decided against it. That park is EXTREMELY busy in the spring/summer/fall. It is almost deserted this time of year, but not when the weather warms up. (By the way, the town name is Murphys, not Murphy, and it is Murphys Park, not Murphy Park) Well, if it was rated as a 1, and it is one to let the kids find, then we are totally blind.
Bee-ing in Arnold is in a busy foot traffic area. It is hard to be discreet when both kids were running around trying to rip everything in sight to shreds. I made a comment about running off steam in front of some people to give a "reason" for us to be there. This busy holiday weekend lots of people are heading up the mountian to go skiing and driving long distances.
I know we just need more practice to get a feel for what people use as hiding places.
