4x4 Cache Placement?

[+Mud Puppy]

Hi all. I'm a newbie living in Vernon BC (North of Kelowna in the Okanagan).

I was wondering if it is at all common to place a cache in locations normally only accessable by bike, quad, or 4x4.

You could, of course, hike in, but typicially you would be looking at a 10 km hike from where the road becomes impassable to cars.

There are many caches that require more then a 10km hike. Just don't expect it to get visited often. Personally I don't think there are enough of this type. Even better are 10km caches that you can ONLY hike to.

In this case the hike would certainly be worth it, but it's 10 kms all UPHILL.

I put a cache here, but it doesn't get visited often:

 

 

The cache is located just left of the big circular thing in the lower right.

 

 

Seriously though, I agree that some major hike caches have the potential to be very cool.

I'd like to see you express THAT in N/W coordinates

I guess it would be considered difficulty 5 "special equipment required"
