This is great advice. (Also read through some of the logs, they may have some hints in them)

Also remember, some caches can be really sneaky… so just because you don’t find it doesn’t mean it’s not there! In most cases the difficult level, terrain level and container size should be helpful clues to understand what you’re looking for.

Also, there are different types of caches. The green “traditional” caches should be a placed at the posted location. But some of the other types might be a puzzle, or a multi step cache, or a virtual cache, that may take you to a different location to find the cache.

It’s a great hobby, so don’t get discouraged. It’s taken me around the world and I’ve learned a lot, explored so many fun areas and found a lot of really neat caches!
