[GeoStL] Re: Multi vs Mystery

-
Hi Mike,

I am no expert by any means so what I think only counts in my feeble mind.

I would like to see a multi cache be something you can do with only a GPS. If you can't go to the first waypoint and find coordinates listed for the subsequent I feel it should be listed as an unknown cache. The unknown listing indicates to me that you need to figure something out and you would have to have the cache listing to know what or how to figure it out.
It still falls into your line of thinking that "I expect that to be a puzzle presented on the cache page to solve to figure out the location of the cache" For instance if you found a sign that said Jan 16, 2005 the puzzle would be what to do with that date to find the final location.

I have noticed a number of caches out there that could fall into the
multi or mystery categories.  For example if you send someone to
coordinates to get information off a sign and use that to calculate
where to go that an offset cache which is a type of multi where to
coordinates given are typically for the sign at WP1.  However when I
see a ? for a puzzle or mystery cache I expect that to be a puzzle
presented on the cache page to solve to figure out the location of the
cache.  The coordinates on the page are bogus.  Kind of a fine line
here but I've noticed it a couple times now and it can affect how you
run a pocket query.
