+AtwellFamily Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I am conducting an informal poll. I would like to know your top 3-5 attributes in each category: Allowed: Not Allowed: No need to post the picture, the category and attribute name is fine. Thanks. I will follow-up in a few weeks with the results. Link to comment
+Corey Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Let's see, out of my 5 caches (1 adopted), I have: Permissions Dogs - Yes x5 Bicycles - Yes x4 Motorcycles - Yes x3 Conditions Recommended for kids - Yes x2 Takes less than an hour - Yes x5 Available at all times - Yes x3 Recommended at night - No x2, Yes x1 Stealth required - No x2 Facilities Wheelchair accessible - Yes x1, No x1 Camping available - No x1 Parking available - Yes x4, No x1 Public transportation - Yes x2 Picnic tables nearby - Yes x1 Telephone nearby - Yes x1, No x1 Stroller accessible - Yes x1, No x1 So, it looks like Dogs, Takes less than an hour, and Parking are used on all of them, and Bicycles on most.

+Isonzo Karst Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hunting, snakes, poisonous plants, thorns, NO stealth, bikes, boat required, may require wading I used to try to indicate dog/no dog - but gave up, as a number of properties where I have caches have "no dogs" on small boundary signs, but everybody brings dogs. I dunno really what the dog status is. Link to comment
Skippermark Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Less than an hour is my most commonly used one. Hardly ever use the available in winter because it's commonly used wrong in these parts. Many times a cache has it but is on the ground and will be frozen in 2 feet of snow in mid January.

+beejay&esskay Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Until the promised change to PQs to include the attributes, I don't use any of them. Link to comment
+Creaturecache Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Probably Stealth,dogs,no poison oak and less than one hour. Stealth the most though. Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Until the promised change to PQs to include the attributes, I don't use any of them. they may not be included, but they're quite helpful for filtering PQs - help a cacher out, use 'em I filter for NOStealth always.. I know people who filter for stroller and others who filter for wheelchair access. Another family filters for poisonous plants (NO! severe allergy). I tried to use the Dog attribute, but as I mentioned, many of my caches are on properties where the fine print says no dogs, but many many many people have dogs, and they're not being asked to leave. So I just omit it. Link to comment
golfgunny Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Being in Okinawa, I look for the "snakes" attribute...That tells me that the cache is off the beaten path, and will typically be an interesting stroll through the jungle. Now if there was only a "spiders the size of a grown man's hand" attribute... Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Without doing any sort of analysis, I suspect the ones I use the most often: Dogs / No Dogs Takes Less Than an Hour (or not) Wheelchair accessible (or not) Stroller accessible (or not) Scenic View Significant Hike (or not) Attributes I rarely use: Recommended for Kids: I don't cache with any, so I have no idea what they like. Available During Winter: Because I don't know how to define "available". The area might be accessible but the cache is under three feet of snow. The cache is certainly available, and it certainly is findable if someone wants to put in the effort. Link to comment
+Urubu Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I use a lot, just for irony. (I live in Florida.) Link to comment
