Mystery Hide distance

[+SuzeeeQ]

When placing a new hide, is the distance from a mystery hide where the coordinates are listed or where the actual coordinates for the hide is?

[+JustFindingOurWay]

Definitely from where the final is located, but possibly also from the posted coordinates if the CO of the mystery placed anything at the posted coordinates.

All physical stages of other caches.

QUOTE, guidelines, Mystery cache section, "Final coordinates must be less than 2 miles (3.2 km) from the posted coordinates."

Well, someone misunderstood the OP's question anyway...

sorry if I didn't make the question clear enough.  Wasn't really sure how to write it.  I want to place and AL Bonus, in an area that a mystery cache starting point is, but the physical location of the mystery cache is actually far enough away.  Guess I just need to locate a spot that is not close to either location.

In that case, my answer is correct. Your AL bonus needs to be minimum 528 feet from all physical stages of other geocaches. It's very easy to check the location with a reviewer.

Max and 99 gave you the correct response apparently. 

 

You can ignore coords of other caches that are not for a physical placement.  Virts, Webcams, Events, "bogus" coords for Mystery caches, virtual first stages of Multi-caches don't block other caches.  If you know the location of physical final of the other Mystery, you just need to stay at 0.1 miles away from it with your physical final.
