NYC Cache

Hi Everyone!

 

I'm fairly new to this, only under 10 finds in the last 4 days. BUT, I'm attempting to plant my first geocache in NYC. It seems that the radius apart from each other is the problem. There are so many good locations in NYC, but a lot are within a block or two of each other. Is there a way to plant a geocache within two blocks of each other? I'm finding it a little hard to plant it near to my location so I can maintain it. Even though there may be 5-6 blocks of available space, there may not be a good place to plant it!! Can anyone offer any assistance? Or it is what it is as far as the radius rules?

 

Thanks!!!

 

:D :D :D

You must comply with the rule of 528ft for any physical point of a cache. But you may place multi-caches or puzzles with closer distances on the published coordinates, as long they are not physical, placing the final on less crowded areas. Use some available information on location, by instance (inscriptions on monuments, permanent billboards, signs, etc.).

I will say, in Midtown Manhattan, it's a little tough since blocks are lined with office buildings! But, I guess I can figure something creative out.

Try to find a few more caches that may be cleverly hid downtown like you're trying to do. That could give you more concrete ideas.

Yeah, I think I need to change my cache, was using a camo pill bottle. Need to get a micro cache... Thanks for the help!
