[Az-Geocaching] Question on Difficult Caches

[Justin Sever]

I would feel cheated.   I enjoy the search and the hunt.  Like you said
the feeling of accomplishment is the true victory.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Question on Difficult Caches


 I have a question I want to throw out to all.  I had a situation on one
of my caches today that  a fellow cacher did not just give a clue on
where to find it but just gave the end coordinates.  If this was a easy
cache I might not have an issue, but this cache was rated a 4, and for
the reason that is was made to be difficult.  The cache in question is
the neighborhood park cache.  For the simple reason, of making it more
difficult, the coordinates to the second stage only lead you to the
area, and from there you have to follow the clues.  In reading some of
the early logs, the clues were followed and the coordinates were found
with some work.  But is that not why caches are rated?  If not we would
just have one rating for terrain.  I know some of the Wyle E caches and
Team Chump, along with Lazy K's are and can be very difficult to solve.
But when it is complete it is an accomplishment.  It is dis-heartening
when an attempt to go the extra mile to make it a challenge, to have it
handed to cachers.
 
So my question to the community what are your feelings on this subject.
