Actually, my understanding was that 4 was for a cache that was very hard,=
=20
but didn't require anything but the cacher. If a cache required any =20
equipment beyond the cacher, then it was a 5.
Perhaps they should look at having a different, or expanded rating system=
=20
for the terrain of the caches where there is a star rating and then some =20
sort of follow on designation for equipment. Perhaps something like 3B f=
or =20
3 star that requires a bike.
