Placing a Cache

[+icefall5]

When you place a cache, do you like to go out and find a spot, prepare your cache, then place it, or just prepare your cache and hope you can find somewhere?

 

I usually do the second. But my main question is this: How do you go about placing a cache?

I have done both my first cache Reseda Pepper Tree Cache was thought out ofr about 2 days and then my other 2 caches i had a super micro made up and said this would make a great plae to hide a cache. I'm Still thinking about my "44 Minutes Cache" (I don't know if I'm going to do it) but i am planning it and researching all i can about the North Hollywood Shootout. so i have done Both.

I either place at a favorite spot of mine found during prior hikes, or scout likely areas / parks using the Terraserver map program and then reconnoiter on the ground. Although I keep replacements for microcaches I own in the cachemobile, I've never impulse-placed a cache.

I only ever have impulsed a cache. I just say, hey, I feel like placing one today, and ride around my neighborhood and find a spot to hide it.

I've done both, though mostly I have a cache and go looking for a good place to hide it.

 

Sometimes a place just gets your attention, though, and you know it's right for a cache. Then you have to go home (or to a store) and figure out what kind of cache should go there.

I think you should find the place first and make it a good one. lOl
