Of course it is important that the friend have found the cache before you contact him. Edited July 16, 2010 by Team Cotati Quote Link to comment

Of course it is important that the friend have found the cache before you contact him. And sometime called: CLYMAL Cheat Like Your Mama Ain't Lookin' That sort of depends on what your friend tells you. I've only used a PAF a couple of times. In once case it was on a puzzle cache where it was pretty obvious that I had transposed some numbers and called someone that had solved and found it to get the correct coordinates. In another case, I was searching an area about 30 miles from home, about .5 a mile from the nearest road and the hint made it pretty clear what kind of object I should be looking for. However, it looked like a bulldozer had recently gone through the area so I called someone to confirm that they found it in a tree described in the hint that I just wasn't seeing. As it turned out, I found the cache after discovering that the tree had been knocked down and the cache was partially under it. The best part of that PAF was the person I called was on vacation at the time on the beach and was being buried in sand by her kids. Quote Link to comment
+Minimike2 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Sometimes, it is just a 'cacher' that wants numbers and continously uses PAF after 30 fruitless seconds on a cache. They are easy to spot in the logs. They have a long sring of caches found quickly that took everyone else a long time to find. Quote Link to comment
