+Team_Talisman Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Is there a way to start trackable coins and TBs from your home coords instead of going back to nearest cache to log them.? Trying to get actually mileage on them and not clutter someones cache log book. Thanks in advance Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Sure Put a cache in your front yard Seriously though, the closest we've found is to log them at the cache in the town square. You might try putting a cache in the center of your town to do the same. Not quite as good as home coords, but pretty close. Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Sure Put a cache in your front yard I got one in the front yard just for that. It is also a mathmatical puzzle. Quote
+Team_Talisman Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 Had thought about a front yard cache, but there was listed till a few minutes ago, a cache 467 feet from me. But in last few minutes it was archived(it was also a front yard cache). So maybe I will put a small micro out on flower garden bench next to street Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I dip mine into my closest to home cache placements. The milage is only off by 1 to 5 miles Quote
+webscouter. Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Over time the mileage is going to be off if you do any puzzle or multi caches anyway. The puzzle cache that isn't at the coords will add or subtract mileage as will the secondary stages of a multi cache. So the cache nearest your home will be just a small part of the overall discrepancy. Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Create a cache on your profile (DON'T click active...) Drop your coins in your own cache.... Quote

+Cornerstone4 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Place a cache in your yard, but don't activate it. When you submit the cache, make sure you select the option that the cache is not active yet. Nobody else will ever see it, and you can log bugs in and out yourself. Quote

Actually reviewers can see it, when they look at caches they see a list of the 5 closest caches including unactivated hidden coin vaults. but if you use an archived cache... Quote
+ScoutingWV Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Create a cache on your profile (DON'T click active...) Drop your coins in your own cache.... Yep - that's the ticket! Quote
+tokencollector Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 After you remove the coin/TB from the cache nearest to your house, you can delete the note that you used to drop the coin. That way it is still started at the appropriate cache, but there won't be a cluttering entry. Quote
