Seems to me a cache doesn't have to be extremely easy to be accessable
to handicaped people. In fact the rating seems like it would have
nothing to do with it.
I can picture a cache that requires once hell of a jeep ride to the
cache area, but then have the cache itself just off the road, but very
well hidden., so it would be a perfect cache for someone in a
wheelchair. They would just need a 4x4 just like anything else, and
want to look around a bit for a well hidden cache.
People should probably just mention if the location itself can be
arrived at easily once the drive is over.
