+r2d290 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hello How can I hide 24 caches today, and automatically release the first cache at 1. descember, next at 2. descember etc.? Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 You can't, but you can ask your reviewer to do it for you. He may or may not be able to accommodate you. It is a bit much to ask. Quote Link to comment
+r2d290 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks. So, if I do this (in hopes that my requests will be refilled), I will need to create 24 individual caches, and write a review-note at all this caches? I don't know how the system works, but what is the chance to get the same reviewer at every caches? Will this be no problem if I add them at about the same time? Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sounds like a cool idea for Christmas. Just be careful not to fall into the trap of using a location just for the sake of making the numbers up to 24 for your 'calendar', where you possibly wouldn't otherwise use that location. A cache is for life, not just for Christmas Quote Link to comment
+r2d290 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah, I know =) I got a map of the town last year, with 20 marked places you should visit. So my big job is to find the last 4 places =) Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Shame you can't put a chocolate in each one. I love advent calendars with chocolates in Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It's good that you're planning this well in advance. Remember that all your 24 caches in the town will have to follow the guidelines, particlularly the one about being a minimum of 528ft apart. I think it would be a good idea to contact your local reviewer now, set out your idea to him, ask his advice and see whether he will be able publish the caches as you hope. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+r2d290 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Then the final question is: How do I find who is the local reviewer if I haven't placed any geocaches in this area yet? And how do I get the contact information? Quote Link to comment
+Lovejoy and Tinker Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Find a cache in the area you want to place yours in. Scroll to the bottom of all the logs One of the first few logs will be the 'Published' log. Click on the name of the person who posted the published log. That will most likely be the reviewer for that area. Probably. Possibly. Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah, I know =) I got a map of the town last year, with 20 marked places you should visit. So my big job is to find the last 4 places =) Have you verified that all 20 of those places far enough away from each other to fit the proximity guidelines, that you have adequate permission, etc? Twenty four caches is quite a committment. For what its worth,most cachers that I know would much prefer to see 24 new caches pop up in an area on one day (perhaps Christmas morning?) than to go back to an area once a day for 24 days.

+Bear and Ragged Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Keep in mind the "Cache Permanence" guideline of caches having to be in place for 3 months, as temporary caches won't be published. Quote Link to comment
+OienLabs Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Hello How can I hide 24 caches today, and automatically release the first cache at 1. descember, next at 2. descember etc.? Hi r2d290. I see you are based in Norway, so therefore take a peek at this Christmas calender in the Oslo region for further tips. There have also been other regions doing the same. We have splendid reviewers in Norway. One of them is Makuta Teridax. Email him and ask politely (He is fluent in norwegian as well). edit: typo Edited October 4, 2010 by baø Quote Link to comment

The flip side of this is that it has a tendency to spread the FTF's around, which some people like to do. Those who would rather get them all in one trip can certainly wait until the series has been fully released (by Christmas Eve, appropriately enough). Quote Link to comment
Skippermark Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 How can I hide 24 caches today, and automatically release the first cache at 1. descember, next at 2. descember etc.? CT has a two series that come out starting on December 25 with at least 1 per day for each series coming out for the next 12 days. To make it easier on the reviewer, the owners submit them a couple weeks before they're going to be released. That way they're all reviewed for any issues and are just just sitting there "in queue" so all the reviewer has to do is publish them. The also know that the reviewer will release them at some random time during the day when it's convenient for the reviewer. I would say if you plan to do it, talk to the reviewer beforehand. Get their input and see what will make it easiest for them. Quote Link to comment

+r2d290 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 First of all. Thanks for the great great support Yeah, I know =) I got a map of the town last year, with 20 marked places you should visit. So my big job is to find the last 4 places =) Have you verified that all 20 of those places far enough away from each other to fit the proximity guidelines, that you have adequate permission, etc? Twenty four caches is quite a committment. I have not done this yet, but I think I will find a solution that will fit the guidelines. I will re-read the FAQ before I starts the real job =) Keep in mind the "Cache Permanence" guideline of caches having to be in place for 3 months, as temporary caches won't be published. I'm not planing to remove them after the christmas, but nice to know that I should say this to the reviewer =) Hello How can I hide 24 caches today, and automatically release the first cache at 1. descember, next at 2. descember etc.?

CT has a two series that come out starting on December 25 with at least 1 per day for each series coming out for the next 12 days. Sorry, I did not understand this part. Could you please re-write it? What is CT? Two series of what? What happens the December 25.? Regarding Christmas caches, here are some clips on YouTube to match up to. Clip 1 Thanks, great inspiration. Only problem is to have a cache like this when it's not christmas (ref. 3 months) Quote Link to comment
+OienLabs Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Me thinks CT stands for Connecticut USA And the two series is from Christmas day (25?) until 12 days of Christmas. Maybe Quote Link to comment
Skippermark Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Me thinks CT stands for Connecticut USA And the two series is from Christmas day (25?) until 12 days of Christmas. Maybe Yes, CT stands for Connecticut. I didn't think about other countries when writing. Exactly right on the caches. One is the "Cachemas" series and the other is the "Grinchmas" series. They are both good (and very popular) series. I think the owners get together and talk because the hides are sometimes nearby, and everyone runs out to find them when they're published. They often turn into "mini events" with a group of 20 or so cachers finding them together. Quote Link to comment
