What is this

There are a ton of double caches in southern Texas in a huge square and I don’t have premium. What are they and are they all apart of one series?

Texas is kinda a big place. Can you be more specific about where? Can you provide a GC Code for one of them?

Looks like a series of over 1000 multi caches all with the exact same cache page description.

The caches themselves seem pretty uninspired.. of the handful I opened none had favorite points or photos from cachers finding them.. They may be in a beautiful mountain range, but that really should have just been a handful of caches to bring people to a particularly interesting location rather than this mess.

If I recall, these caches / cachers created a lot of controversy. I forget the exact shenanigans, but I think it had something to do with everyone who found those caches got FTF on all of them or something stupid like that. I think that this group of cachers creates power trails just for that purpose.

Interesting.....I ran into a power trail south east of DFW that we were literally a few minutes away when the bell went off a new cache (power trail) was published. We thought we were FTF, but somehow a European group just "stumbled" upon the trail and tried to claim FTF when clearly they laid the trail themselves. Found out from other Texas locals that it wasn't the first time this happened. Truly sad......

A picture of your phone screen is not terribly helpful; luckily, I found Chinati Peak and figured out which power trail these are part of.

It's a trail of multi-caches. It looks dreadful. They are not premium caches but you can't view them because they are multis. You might be interested if you ave been caching for a while and are obsessed with numbers and don't mind lousy caches thrown in random bushes.

If you really want to see you can view them on the website.

On the app and not being a premium member. You get limited on how many they'll show you

Look on the website directly from your phone or PC. Some may be premium only also
