Do you live in Zytheran land? You are probably going to hate me as well. Especially if your closest unfound cache is one of his. Pray to the caching gods that someone in the next week hides one closer to your home location. [-o<

Oh, dear, how evil should I be? There might be a get out of jail free card on this one.
Ok my sentence may not be so bad. I've just checked my "home" co-ord's and found that it was set to the middle of town so technically now that I have refined more acurately the Spirit of Tassie can wait!!

My closest unfound to home (listed coords) is called Bulls Eye. Surely that has to be worth a bonus?!?

he actual requirements don't say "find or hide". Is there still an option to hide a cache for the requirements? (obviosuly not the ones where you have to find it with others etc) But can you HIDE a cache instead?

Most of them this year are finds only. I had concerns raised to me that people were hiding a poor quality cache just to get the requirement. So I decided not to go for a "find or hide" this year,. The only hide one is on my birthday :mrgreen:

Good catch. Either way is good. It's all about travelling 1,500m so there and back is just as good.

My family knows. The GCA website does contain some information that will lead you to someone who will know the answer, but it's not exactly a plain and simply method. You'd then have to cajole that information out of him. If this were a mystery cache, then the requirement contain nearly enough information to take a good guess. You can always PM me to confirm your guess. You have at least a few weeks to find that out.

Where do wherigo caches fit in? I assume they'd be counted as "other" (2 points) for points purposes?

By the way 3 people now know what to do for requirement 30, so it's not that hard after all.

Oh and with the Free Throw, does that mean that regardless of what cache you log, you get 25 points?
