Basic infomation
Cache name
Each cache has a name. While several caches can have identical names, this should be avoided. Also, using non-specific names such as "A81 # 589", should be avoided. A cache name can be up to 60 characters long.
Cache size
Cache sizes for all caches that have a physical container.
- Small - decon container, sandwich-sized Tupperware-style container or similar, holds trade items as well as a logbook
- Normal - standard lock-n-lock or similar containers
- Large - larger lock-n-lock style containers or ammo cans
- Very Large - 5 gallon bucket or larger
Cache type
Each cache has its type defined.
Coordinates
The coordinates denote the position of the cache (taken from GPS). If the coordinates do not indicate the precise position of the cache, all the information necessary to find it has to be included in the cache description.
Country
The country where the cache is placed.
Difficulty level
The level of difficulty of the task (mental challenge) and of the terrain (physical challenge), rated 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest). When applied to a Quiz Cache the mental challenge applies to puzzle difficulty as well as cache camouflage. Half bars (i.e. 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc.) are available for fine tuning the difficulty. An aid for determining the level of difficulty when listing a new cache can be found [here].
Time and distance to travel
The values on the distance (one way only) and the time necessary to find the cache (total). These values of course depend on external conditions and are optional. However they are often useful, particularly for Multicache and Event caches. If you provide them, please try to give reasonable estimates, otherwise it is best to enter zero (means no value given).
