“I think the number of finds could be as low as 5 before placing a cache. I think rather than setting a find limit, it would be more beneficial to emphasize to potential hiders that the location should be either interesting, scenic, challenging, unique, etc. to consider it for a cache placement. Of course, the only problem with this is it can only be measured subjectively, not quantitatively.”
Ok, this is a great way of saying it. But….how do you get this information to a newbie before they plant a cache?
That’s part of the logic behind a time and number limit. Hopefully the newbie will absorb some of this over that time, from observing other caches and perhaps even meeting other cachers. If not, then what?
