Cache placement

[+MoonHerb]

In the placing a cache document it states cache's cannot be placed within .10 miles of an existing cache.

 

Simple question - Is it a typo ? Does it mean 10 miles or 0.10 miles (ie. one tenth of a mile ?)

 

Sorry for the stupid question !!

It is .10 miles. Also, when you think about it, .10 mile is only 528 feet. I also understand that is is not a "set in stone" rule. For example, opposite sides of a river or freeway, in which you would have to travel further than that distance to retrieve both caches, or the top and bottom of a cliff. I'm sure there are many other justifyable answers.

One tenth of one mile. Wouldn't want to totally trample an area, now would we, by placing them closer together?

So many caches, so little time.
