Multi-cache

[+AtoZ]

I have a cache that has a waypoint set that I think I need to change. It is an environmental issue of folks rooting around in the area looking for the first cache. No one has found the first point and I think I know most of the folks doing the cache but I also will need to relocate the first point, a micro. Not sure if just changing the coordinates on the cache page is enough or should I leave a obvious tag at the site with the new waypoint on it? Not sure what is best.

Cheers

Probably a note like "Attention, the coords of stages 1-N have been changed - if you found them before Aug 11, you have to revisit the cache" would be appropriate. There might be cachers who did a few stages and ran out of time so they saved the rest of the multi for the next time. Sometimes the seekers post a note in such case, but it is not required.

Because a lot of people upload the coords to their GPS and print, or upload the pages to their PDA days in advance of hunting caches, its a good idea to leave a small note with the new coordinates. A piece of paper in a Ziploc will do the trick and you can remove it after a few weeks.

I think your question has been prepoerly answered. I want to congratulate you for being so responsible and moving the stage. I have been to plenty of cache sites that looked like the local elephant club had met there the previous night.

seeing as the stage in question is the FIRST stage of the multi, I would most probably do both, post the change AND tag the old location with the new one... at least for a month or so... IMESHO, anyone who doesnt update their queries a min of once a month should oughta go through the extra work
