But have you checked the location in the Planning Map? 1.12. Understanding the Geocache Planning Map http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=464 It's not the end of your research, but it's a good start. Have you read the Guidelines? Clicked all the links in the Guidelines? Read everything carefully...a few times? http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx The Help Center has an entire section about hiding a geocache. It's worth the time and effort to do so. Hiding a Geocache http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.book&id=19 There's a lot more to hiding than just getting a set of coordinates. And it takes some time and research. Saves you and your Reviewer a lot of potential frustration if you thoroughly research your hide. B. Quote Link to comment

All true and think my reviewer is tired of me at moment as have changed coordinates again. spot on this time and verified by a friend. however he seems to be ignoring me (or maybe he has a life ha ha) see that's me again. no patience (though I always say that patients are for hospitals) But have you checked the location in the Planning Map? 1.12.
