Answer to your question: yes I would hike a trail to find a cache every 1/4 mile -- sounds like fun to me!

They both Artemis and Coadmin suggested doing a multicache!But then you have to ask why?The only thing a multicache does is conceal the amount of caches that are actually in an area since each point is not shown on a map! A few of you stated you would rather do a multicache,could you please explain why?From what I have seen multicaches don't get nearly the amount of hits that traditional caches do which tells me there is not as much interst in them!If you were finding a cache every 1/4 mile along a trail would you be more inclined to hike the whole trail?
