Hey Guy, How'rya doin'? Ahem....(butting in) Did you read Andy's note? Clayjar's rating system is not required, of course, but it does seem to be somewhat of a standard being used. Let's see. 1 = Handicapped ACCESSIBLE, terrain is likely to be PAVED, is relatively FLAT, and less than 1/2 mile. 2 = Terrain is generally along marked trails, there ARE NO STEEP ELEVATION changes or heavy undergrowth, less than 2 miles. Hm. I haven't been to this cache, but from the logs (some mention a short steep climb) it seems like bumping the terrain rating to at least a 2 might be more accurate and therefore avoid any confusion/complaints in the future. Pretty easy. Or, if there is a way to get within 50 feet without the steep climb, maybe a 1.5. Think. 50 feet might as well be 50 miles when you are wheelchair bound. "Accessible" logically means someone in a wheelchair can physically reach out and grab the cache. (/butting in) take care, Trisha "Lightning" Prescott On Thu, 29 Apr 2004 19:25:41 -0700 (PDT), GUY ALDRICH wrote: > > Andy IF you go the right way,you can use a wheelchair > to get within 50 ft of the cache!You must print out > and follow the cache page directions! > > > --- Andrew Ayre wrote: > > According to Clayjar's rating system, 1 star for > > terrain = wheelchair > > accessible.
