+MidnightBarbecue Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'm placing a two stage multi cache on public property with permission. If the coordinates for stage one bring the cacher to a container, can that container hold a simple 'treasure map' for them to follow rather than actual coordinates? The final will be on the same small parcel, only a couple hundred feet away. Quote Link to comment

I've found a number of caches where the first stage was identified by accurate GPS coordinates, and then later stages were identified in some other manner. A treasure map could work. So could a set of written instructions. So do offsets with a bearing and distance. 1 Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This is a fine design. Meaningful GPS usage must constitute an integral part of the hunt for all caches, but it is not required for ALL stages of multiple-stage caches. The reverse design is also a winner. Follow clues or a treasure map to find stage one. Then, inside stage one, there are GPS coordinates for a final stage with a logbook. 4 Quote Link to comment

We don't like the idea of "treasure" and this hobby, but for kid's caches with swag, sounds like fun. 1 Quote Link to comment
