Placing my second cache....

[+blb9556]

I am placing another cache. I will be a multi and subscriber only. However I think a puzzle cache's cache is placed down their and we all know about the 528ft rule. In my location it is about 620ft from another but maybe 50ft from a puzzle. My question is how do I find out if a puzzle is their(I don't want cords for the puzzle!) I'm placing mine near N 40° 06.170 W 083° 06.929.

I may be wrong here, but I think the only way you can be certain is to find the puzzle cache. Keystone will certainly tell you if you are encroaching. You can do this in two ways. Place the cache, submit it, and hope for the best, or send him a note with the coords for your proposed cache, and see what he says.

I'm emailing Keystone

That is what I did one time when I wanted to place a final to a long Multi-cache that was primarily out of my usual territory. I scoped out some possible hiding places using Google Earth. Then, I emailed my Reviewer to make sure there were no Multi waypoints, or Puzzles, hidden in those areas.

 

I got the okay and drove the 40 miles to plant my ammo can in an "open" space.

Just for fun, I'll answer here. That particular spot checked out just fine. If you need to move a bit, you're clear within a 500 foot circle around those coords.

 

Reviewers are happy to answer occasional inquiries to pre-clear an area where someone's thinking of hiding a cache. Just send an e-mail. As in the OP, it helps if the coords are presented in the same format as on a cache page, and all on one line, to make it easier to paste them into our reviewer software.

 

Had there been a conflict I would have said "no, sorry," but I don't give very specific information as this could be viewed as spoiling the puzzle. I might say "try the south side of the park" or "go on the other side of the mall."

Well you could do what was already mentioned (asking the local reviewer) or, couldn't you just ask the owner of the cache that is in question? Surely he would tell if yours was to close as long as you explained why you were wondering. I would think this would be the fastest and maybe most efficient way. At least this is what I would do.

I tried with no response.

You mean from the other owner, right? I answered you a few posts up.

This is a good idea too! I would tell someone if they asked me.

Very nice.

Some owners don't check or respond to email in a regular basis. I would think that a reviewer is much more diligent in that respect.

Yeah, occasionally you come across an owner like me, who accidently bumps a cup of water into the laptop and can't answer email or log caches and bugs until he gets home on the weekend. No laptop in the truck, a real bummer!

Wait... you're the reviewer in Phoenix, AZ?
