Hiding a Cache Assistance or Tips


Recommended Posts

Greetings!

I have utilized Google and Reddit to try to find a possible answer to my situation, but I have not been able to, so I thought I would turn to my fellow GC'ers.

 

The city I've moved to is teeming with Mystery Caches, and I've hit a roadblock. I had to retract five potential hides I placed because they were within 0.10 miles of the final stage of a Mystery Cache.  Is there a resource that could provide these locations/coordinates to help me hide caches without having to solve every Mystery Cache in the area? I'm not seeking the final coordinates with the applicable GC Code to simply log these caches. I'm only interested in the final coordinates as a means to place these hides.

 

Thank you in advance if you know how one could do this.

You can ask your Reviewer to check coordinates if you unsure if a particular location is available or not:

If you’re still unsure if your location is available, ask a local reviewer to confirm.

Tip: It’s a good idea to do this before you place your geocache.

  1. Create a cache page with a title like "Coordinate Check".
  2. Add locations as waypoints if you'd like the reviewer to check more than one location. This is similar to adding stages for a Multi-Cache.
  3. Add a Reviewer Note to make sure that the reviewer does not publish the cache page. For example, “Do not publish, this is a coordinate check."
  4. Submit your cache page for review and wait for your reviewer to reply.

You went to Google and Reddit before us?

Hmmmmph! 

 

It can be hard to find a spot when there are so many puzzle caches nearby! I highly recommend getting coordinates pre-checked by a reviewer.  You could also consider reaching out to some of the local COs and explain your situation.
