Mystery rules location clarification

I have a Traditional cache in front of our house. I want to place a new Mystery cache about 50 feet from the existing Traditional. The Mystery's final location will be about 1.5 miles away.

 

We've seen this sort of arrangement on other caches and want to make sure we're following Geocaching rules for Mystery caches.

Your published coords must be a virtual stage... and other stages must be at 0.1mile from other caches physical stages.

As RA said, if your posted coordinates at the top of your Listing page are virtual, it should not be an issue.  Virtual waypoints, like you might commonly see for Puzzle and Multi cache types, are not evaluated for Proximity.   Only physical Stages, and of course, the Final cache container will be checked for nearby caches.

Just make sure you get the virtual coords far enough away from,your traditional that the icons on the map dont obscure one another.
