I want to make sure that this project complies with all cache listing guidelines.
I would hope to get at least a few reviewers to participate here to better facilitate folks getting their caches approved.
Here are some recent questions from a reviewer:
1) Is the finder obligated to place a seed cache if he finds the cache, ie. is it a requirement to hide a cache to log a smilie? The concern being that newbies would be forced to place it in a doubtful place because they felt they needed to.
No. No one is obligated to do anything, but sign the log of the cache they found.
2) Two follow-up questions related to time and options. Could a newbie who did not feel they could yet contribute to our sport with a meaningful hide defer the hide, and/or could someone just log a find w/o taking a seed cache.
Certainly. They achieve One Degree of Separation simply by logging the cache they find.
3) Does the provided micro have to be used for the seed cache?
Not at all. We are EXPECTING 50% to as much as 80% attrition.
If you look at the GC.com MapQuest map of Georgia for any cache and zoom out one click you'll see that the nothern third of the state is Chattahoochee National Forest (green on the map). The USFS does not allow microcaches in that area, so apart from the urban areas you'd need an ammo can or tupperware container. Can that be used in place of the provided micro?
Most certainly if the hider wishes to do that to participate.
4) What happens when the seed caches run out?
That is up to the owner of the cache. The log documents are available on request and micro containers can be obtained FREE at any film processing business.
Are there enough to sustain the minimum of 90 days required under the cache permanence guideline?
Since this is subjective to placement location traffic, that is uncertain, but in most cases Yes.
Will the cache be refilled, or will it then become a normal cache, since we can't have temporary caches?
The caches are meant to be permanent. It is up to the owner as to how long they wish to participate. AGAIN, ODS Seed Pod & Micro Seed Cache forms are available upon request.
Thanks very much to the reviewer who took the time to ask these questions.
If any other reviewer has a different question or concern, you can contact me privately, or post right here.
