Have the current series caches been there a year or two or were you going to wait a year or two after archiving to put up a new series? just a little confused on your question.

once archived, that spot is open for immediate placement again if you wish.
If the area is interesting enough to warrant another visit to the same place, I wouldn’t see anything wrong with that plan. visiting the same guardrail again however… (if you see what I mean)

quickly re-reading makes me think you have yet to place the initial series.
if that is correct, it is hard to say what may change in a years time or more.

Keep in mind that if you archive a cache and hide another one in the same place bringing people to the same spot, regardless of how “worthy” the spot is you will get some sorta “negative logs” like “been to the cache that was here before” kinda logs. Usually the type that complain are the number hungry cachers who clear the map every so often (at least the ones who don’t copy and paste log)

The only preventative for complaints is to do something new and unique with the spot so that it doesn’t matter it’s the third time you’ve brought a cacher to this particular set of coordinates.

Or put on a flame retardant suit and not care what other people say.

It’s your cache so you can do what you please.

When I first started caching, I had the same idea. But over time, I realized that maybe putting out some quality caches, as well as numbers runs, would make for a nice variety of hides. Hide your caches, see what happens over the next 2 years, then make the decision. Who knows what direction Groundspeak will take us in the next 2 years. Trails make for a great area for 3 or 7 container series of caches.

Or do a few multis and see how few cachers visit your hides! 😉

When we put out our caches, we do so with the intention that they are there to stay until they disappear or there become problems with them. We try to think of something unique for each one of them. Some are better than others, some we like better than others.

We put out caches for others to find. We put them out for others to have a caching experience like we might want. We do not put our caches out with the idea that the more we put out, the more people can raise their cache find counts.

But that is us. People play the game all kinds of ways.

I agree with Sandlanders. I place caches that I generally intend to have a long run. Not every hide turns out as I would hope or as I expected.

I also agree with -cheeto- that seeing the same spot reused is generally a ho-hum experience. Recently there were a number of puzzles archived in the Appleton area and many of these spots were filled with traditionals. Each to their own, but revisiting a sign post isn’t my idea of a good time.

Extremely well said, Sandlanders. 😀
