+Last Lap Gang Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Someone may have identified these before, and I know that these descriptions make the hunt easier, but we ran into a little problem locating a cache yesterday because we were following what we thought was a path, but the hider probably meant road. Anyway to list a description like this somewhere? Would people find it useful in the Tips for Hiding a Cache section? Certainly up for dicussion or revision, but here's a start... A tip for people who place caches: Distinguish a PATH from a ROAD, from a TRAIL etc. PATH: About as wide as a Sidewalk or a little wider. PAVED PATH: could be a sidewalk or something used like a sidewalk but isn't meant for vehicular traffic. TRAIL: Wide enough to walk single file. ROAD: An earth or dirt passageway that has ruts and has obviously been driven upon. PAVED ROAD: A paved passageway that isn't as busy as a STREET. STREET: A paved passageway that has frequent vehicular traffic. Link to comment

I would say no, because even if someone did identify whether it was a path/trail/road/whatnot, I'm not going to remember what thats suppose to mean In some cases I can see were the size and surface (paved, not paved, gravel, etc.) could be helpful. But you dont need to define all the different "walkways" to do that. Link to comment
+Last Lap Gang Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 I for one, will use your scale, and hope others do too. If they don't, it'll just make things more challenging, I guess. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Don't forget goat trail. Freeway. Game trail. Blazing a path (normally through stinging nettle) and a few others. Is it a steam? A creek, or a river? Maybe a spring? Hard to say Iv'e seen creeks bigger than rivers. Local terminology won't allways be clear cut. Wherever you go there you are. Link to comment
