I really can't imagine a worse way to spend a day

I'd much rather have a box at the end of an interesting walk, at the top of a hill or at an interesting site. Stopping every 600ft to sign a log would get very boring very quickly

Imagine how'd you'd feel as a reviewer if you got 500+ caches in your queue?

Cache Saturation

Cache containers and physical stages should generally be separated by a minimum of 0.1 miles (528 feet or 161 m). A physical stage is defined as any stage that contains a physical element placed by the geocache owner, such as a tag with the next set of coordinates or a container. Non-physical caches or stages including reference points, trailhead/parking coordinates and question to answer waypoints are exempt from this guideline.

Additionally, within a single multi-cache or mystery/puzzle cache, there is no minimum required distance between physical elements.

Please don't hide a cache every 600 feet just because you can. The ultimate goals of the saturation guideline are to encourage you to seek out new places to hide caches rather than putting them in areas where caches already exist and to limit the number of caches hidden in a particular area, especially by the same hider. Groundspeak may further restrict cache listings in areas where cache saturation becomes a concern.

Recently I did about 10/12 caches of a power trail in Scotland, along a mountain pass.. [GC1ZGCC] Thought it would be great to drive a nice road, and grab a few caches along the way.. After about 5 I began to get pis*ed off of stopping in the middle of no-where, to search in gorse bushes, bottom of wooden fence stakes for the same flimsy box, within which was the same piece of folded cardboard (logbook) within a unsealed bag.
Just seemed that they were just chucked out with no prior planning other than the fact of being equidistant from the next cache..

This brings me on to my next problem... So you're planning a trip in the summer (Which I am currently) and you can see there's tonnes of caches in the city/area you're going to.. How can you weed out all these rubbish caches? Without having to go into each one... Just want to get the ones like Niall said - at genuine places of interest, scenic places etc.. .???
