Would you all please clarify this for me definitively. The two
categories of ratings for a cache are "overall difficulty" and "terrain
difficulty". Terrain difficulty is obvious but it's been explained to me
that overall difficulty means how hard it is to find the cache once you
are within the 12-20 feet range the GPS allows. So a cache buried 4 feet
under heavy rocks would be rated 5 for overall difficulty, or simply
"difficulty" as it shows on a cache page, even if it was 30 feet from a
paved road. And a cache sitting right in plain sight with a flag
sticking out would be rated as 1, even if it was on top Mt. Everest.
Right or not?
If so, it's too bad the main Web site doesn't use another more
descriptive term, such as "search difficulty" or "find difficulty".
