Am I barking up the wrong tree here? I'd be interested in knowing others thoughts.geocaching.com wrote:Offset caches are a variation on multi-caches. They are listed as a multi-cache when selecting a cache type. They are not found by simply going to some coordinates and finding a cache there. With the offset cache the published coordinates could be of an existing historical monument, plaque, or even a benchmark that you would like to have your cache hunter visit. At this spot, the hunter looks for numbers or information already appearing on the marker or on some part of the marker or site (geocachers never deface public or private property). The geocacher is then able to manipulate these numbers or information using instructions posted on the cache page to continue the hunt.
This is not a witch hunt and I'm not asking people to name names. I'm just noticing a trend and wanted others thoughts
