[Az-Geocaching] Additional Waypoint Entries

[Jared Ross]

I'm so confused now. In your other thread you just wrote: 
 
"Why spend all that money in $3 a gallon gas and 
help support the record profits the oil companies are enjoying (at our 
expense) when I can drive a short 10 minute drive up the road from my house 
and park less than 1/4 mile away and hike to this cache?"
 
and now here you're saying you want caches 1-2 miles apart so they have to be in remote areas??? Wouldn't that require a lot more gas??
 
Me, I'd rather drive a short 10 minute drive to a densly populated South Mtn and get some much needed exercise. To me that makes those "remote-area" caches that much more special when I do go out and do them.
 
By the way, (to stay on topic) the additional waypoint entries are extremely helpful tools, especially if you own a multi-cache. Thanks for sharing the info with us Artemis.

AMEN to that!!!! I hate visiting one area and clearing all the caches in 
that area, only to have someone place a new one in the same area two days 
later! How many times have I hiked to the almost exact same location 
somewhere to find another cache. Ever hear of originality!? :))  For 
instance, South Mountain Park in Phoenix is so dense in caches that I have 
hiked the same trails dozens of times to find newly placed caches. I would 
agree that the minimum distance should be MUCH more than 0.10 mile. It 
should be at least a mile or two apart. It would be very difficult to find a 
place anywhere in the Phoenix area to hide a cache if this was the rule! It 
would definetly promote more remote caches.
