Jihadacadien Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Again wondering what some of you like to do with your multi caches. Like what kind of puzzules....etc... Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I personally avoid multi's that have to many different points to find. I guess i have a short attention span, but if it is more than 4 I will skip it. i am also not a great mathematician so don't get into Trig or anything like that. Quote Link to comment
Jihadacadien Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 I suppose what a guy could do is just give the coor. for the first one, and in it plu the coor. for the second one and so on....with something nice in the last one Quote Link to comment
+KoosKoos Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 This is my favorite multi so far..... MONSTER Quote Link to comment
+LthrWrk Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Themed Multis. With interesting puzzles to solve. Not too simple but not too mind bending. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I can certainly apprecaite you wanting to ask opinions, but be aware (like anything else) you can't please everybody. My only multi (out of 28 hides) takes about 2-3 hours to complete but takes you to some spots in the mountians (accessed by roads - very little hiking until the final) that have been forgotten. Old towns that are no more, old railroad tunnels cutting through the mountains, etc. The final spot is where a town and booming railstop used to be. You can still walk about 100 yards down the tunnel and see the old trestle and railraod ties nearby as well. This was something that I wanted to share with others. I know it's not for everybody but those that have doen it have really enjoyed it. For me, it was placing a cache/experience that I wanted others to share, not placing it based on what I thought they wanted. It obviosuly has fewer finds that my traditional caches that are short hikes. But those willing to do it are rewarded accordingly. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Some people like multi caches. Some don't. I don't, but there are exceptions. I liked one called Evil Cache. Maybe because I did it the right way and it involved a 500 mile round trip while the FTF crew did it the cheap way. The big reason I don't like them is murpheys law. I've got more than a few that I'll never get back to, or which I started but havn't finished, or which were archived after I had to quit. Quote Link to comment
+Kite and Hawkeye Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I like multis where there's actually something hidden at every stage. Virtual waypoints where you take the third number of the year of the founding of whatsistown, or count the number of points on the Burger King's crown, or whatever, aren't nearly as much fun as finding something placed by the cache hider. I also like multis that take you along a particular path because that's the best or coolest way to get to the final, rather than just taking you up and down and around random places (and past a few more parking areas...) just for the heck of it. There are exceptions, though, like a loop that takes you back to your starting point, or a really cool puzzle multi that needs to cover some ground. I like puzzles that can be figured out in the field; needing to go home and figure stuff out is not fun. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I prefer multis that use existing numbers, instead of having to find a tag or micro at the different stages. There is a five-stage multi through parts of a large city park that uses dates on structures (a bridge), numbers on road signs, addresses painted on curbs, etc. I'm puzzle-challenged, so if it involves a puzzle . . . I filter those out of my Pocket Queries . . . so they don't even exist. Quote Link to comment
+Hoppingcrow Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I prefer multis that are somewhat centralized since I don't have access to maps in my car or on my ancient GPS. I like being able to park and walk to all the waypoints of a multi over the space of a few hours, or to be able to do them on a bicycle. Puzzles appeal to me, too. Here are two of my very favorites, both done while bicycling: Dr. Watson's Mistake and Restoration Cache Quote Link to comment
+DaveA Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I like multis that take me through an area with each leg on the journey putting me in a place to see something nice or perhaps just one that gets me to see all of an area, including the parts I might miss had I not been caching.
