Placing Caches

[+LiveStrong]

Hello,

I found the perfect place to place a cache but there is nothing special about the area. I dont want to place it because of that reason. If anyone wants to respond and tell me what they will do please do.

We have done some caches where you walk out a mile in the sand to a lone tree. Nothing there and nothing to see along the way.Very boring cache. In the description for your cache you could point out something interesting along the route to the cache. Maybe a good watering hole, place for lunch or my weakness, ice cream. I say go for it.

How does the location compare to the caches you've already found? If somebody else had placed a cache there, would you think "boy, this is a lame cache", or would you be glad they had placed it?

 

I don't think "special" is required for a location...just not hidden in one of a thousand old tires, for instance.

Is it a pleasant walk to the site? That's a good enough reason. If its just a postage stamp sized urban dog poop park or a litter strewn lot, then forget about it no matter how it no matter how perfect the hiding place is.

Sometimes cache hiders will compensate for a less-than-spectacular location by hiding a unique camoflaged container, or by making an evil puzzle cache instead of a simple park and grab. Thus, the cache can still be memorable, even if it lacks a stunning view, an interesting object or a history lesson. Just give me SOMETHING to make the cache worthwhile.
