'Part of Series/Circuit' Attribute?

[+ganonman]

This has probably been suggested before, but this attribute would help find series or circuits of caches.

 

I know that not everyone likes these, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for a series and wish I could just bring them up on a map via a PQ.

The first thing you'd have to do is define exactly what a "series" is that virtual everybody could agree on.

I suppose I'm referring more to circulars or rings of caches, similar to what this thread is referring to.

Wouldn't this better as a bookmark list of all the caches in the series? Or are you looking for a list of series?

[+Prime Suspect]

"Series" is like "TB Hotel". It only exists in the mind of the cache owner. It's not an actual cache condition. Attributes are for informing people of some condition of the cache or its environment.

I've seen people name their caches with similar names so you know they're designed to be done together.

 

Some I've seen around here are named something like:

 

HRPT1-Parking

HRPT2-Rocky Trail

HRPT3-The Cave

HRPT4-Scenic Overlook

 

and so on. HRPT might stand for Hop River Park Trail, and then #1 is the first you do, #2 the second and so on. That helps finders know which one to do next, which can sometimes be confusing on the trail if the names are random and the caches aren't real close together.

 

If I were searching for caches to do, I would spot this right away and realize the caches are all part of the same group rather than with an attribute.

 

I'd look at the attributes for each individual cache to see if anything special was needed, like the "HRPT3-The Cave" to see if climbing gear was needed or if it was dangerous, things like that. The attributes can change from cache to cache.
