Massive multi or many "normal" caches?

[+J the Goat]

I've decided to put this out as 15 separate caches. Caches 1 and 2 are traditionals that each give you part of the coordinates to cache 3. 4 and 5 give you parts of 6, and so on.

 

The first round of caches are all traditional hides that are fairly simple - 2's and 3's for D/T. These should satisfy casual hunters, out-of-area cachers, and FTF seekers. The second round of caches is three multis and a puzzle cache that follow some of the main hiking trails in the area, though the stages are hidden well off-trail. These are rated in the 3's and 4's. The third round consists of a two-stage multi and a puzzle cache that involves encrypted coordinates and a projected point. These are 4/4 caches. The final is a grueling 4.5/4.5 multi.

 

I'm recycling some of the traditional hides I have in the area. When the other caches get published I'm going to insert the coordinate halves into my already-published ones so they can become part of the challenge. In this way I'm not taking up additional real estate and I'm making maintenance a little easier for myself.

 

After the first round, every cache is listed as an unknown cache with the closest parking area as the published coordinates.

 

I finished placing half of the caches this past weekend. Next weekend I will place the second half, then decide the order in which I will publish them all. There are three big events coming up in my local area so I'll use these to help spread the word about this series.

 

Makes me wish I was closer to your area
