Lets try and get some suggestions going of caches to visit. Can be anything, but something that if you visited the area it would be the one cache to do. I don't mean to blow my own horn, but if you have time check out this cache. Its not really close to San Angelo, but I check on it during the summer on my way to San Antonio. I will post some for San Angelo later. www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=300959a5-32eb-4dcc-bfc2-75e603072be0This has a very unique land feature, and is well worth the visit, and would make a great spot to get your feet wet. |

I agree with the Big Spring caches....even though you are tooting your own horn!  and also there are some new ones that if I don't get too, I'll just explode. Same for San Angelo -- great caches and there are some new ones too. Mine in Midland are pretty good, considering how many hiding places there aren't here! But I'm considerably fond of the Gulch series now. |

I also need to put more out in Big Spring. We've done a lot of caching in Dallas and have come up with some excellent ideas. You're bound to see some new ones (that will hopefully be in the suggested caches) in the near future in Big Spring.

I am afraid that the cache ideas that I have seem to be placed too close to existing caches. In a town as small as Big Spring what is the rule of thumb?   |

I really don't think there's a rule of thumb. If you've gone to some of the Midland or San Angelo caches you'll notice that there are sometimes 4 in a small area, which I really like when I'm in a time crunch! ;D

Geocaching.com says .10 miles apart, but my understanding is that multies can have redirects closer. So if you were able to place one that is the required .10miles then you can have others in the smaller area or closer to other caches. This allows you to place some in parks that are to small for the .10mile rule.

And in cache distance that's absolutely NOTHING. I know I'm always thrilled when I'm down to that last .10 of a mile. That's just a hop, skip, and jump. It's REALLY nice when you're just dog tired after a long day of caching and there's one more just .10 of a mile, so you do one more, then when you get there you notice there's another one .10 of a mile from that one. By the time you're done you're a mile away from your car and wondering how they suckered you into that! |

ditto on the distance ... oh man, now I've not done those SA caches ... Yeppers, I enjoyed placing the Gulch series in Midland because they are just over .10 from each other and I wanted to do a series of caches, but as we all know Midland is well.......cache hiding places devoid! Besides nice walk up and down the "gulch"! ;D

Yeah, those San Angelo caches you need to wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, and take a machete!  I liked the gulch series - but hey - I was tired when we got done! |

and also there are some new ones that if I don't get too, I'll just explode.
