Maybe do away with multi caches and instead set up a series so each WP is a
cache. That would rule out using signs etc... Because there would not be a
log book; unless a log book was hidden on or near the sign.

Dan, I agree a lot with what you say.. I was going to start a cache at a
trailhead in Lost Valley but the starting WP is too close to another
starting point, which happens to be a small tag, so I couldn't do it. It
would have been 200 feet from that tag but, my starting point would have
been a micro. That bummed me out.
On the other hand, It would be a nightmare for Glenn to try and keep up with
WPs if they were a tag or a box or a sign, etc.... With the rule now, he can
simply say it is too close regardless of what the WP is.
Maybe they can introduce locationless, virtualized, WPs. Or... Better
yet.... Have a waymark that leads to a real cache?!?!?!
Could you do that and not follow the .10 rule? Hmmmm.... Possibilities...

I just can't help myself here ...I know that I will be opening another can
of worms and maybe start a firestorm discussion but hey the list has been
too quiet lately anyway .
I also do NOT understand what is the big deal of keeping WPs which have
no intrinsic value other than a GoTO point in a multi to over .10
mile.....if a person wanted to place a multi with 5 WPs inside of a small
park just to give a tour of that park pr spme other special reason and then
place the cache somewhere else that DOES meet all cache guidelines or even
within the same park it SHOULD be allowed.....This is just one more example
of the powers that be at gc.com showing just how they can OVERLORD their
decisions over all the rest of us little peon cachers.
You know I have a solution to this ...just have the higher ups declare
multi and puzzle caches to be no good like they did with virtuals and
locationless then there is no longer a problem. Let's go back to straight
traditional ONE stop caches and then there is no problem with getting too
close.
I have been playing with an idea here in Rolla to introduce new and
experienced cachers to different types of Micros and the way they can be
hidden.....I was going to create a multicache with micros as the WPs and
then a final traditional cache at the end but with these rules I would be
taking up most of the park and not allowing anyone else access to this park
for the purpose of hiding a cache.....even though this park is one of the
largest in Rolla. That would suck so I am abandoning the idea ....it is just
not worth the effort and I can get 4 or 5 traditional one stop caches in
there .....of course they will not teach anything and they will not
highlight anything except the fact that your numbers (which people claim
including the bigshots at gc.com don't really count for anything anyway) go
up 4 or 5 caches.
I apologize to Glen for the ranting as I know he is not making these
decisions he is just carrying out the rules set down by others but I get so
tired of a wonderful hobby and sport being continuously ruined by these (my
opinion) idiotic rules and regulations.
Sorry it has been a long day but this is just my humble opinion but I dare
say it is shared by a LOT of the common everyday cachers out there who just
want to enjoy a fun pasttime without having to put up with a lot of crap.

Of course not.
I could not make available every waypoint of everybody's multi caches.
The best thing to do is actually go find the nearby caches if you are
interested in placing a cache in a park.
