Hi all,

Just yesterday I found this community and it reminded me how much I enjoy geocaching. It prompted me to start hunting again, and to my surprise there were three geocaches within walking distance of my office. I snagged all of them on my lunch yesterday, but noticed one of them seems to be in disrepair. It’s in a fairly covered area, but we are approached our nasty weather season, so I fear the cache will be destroyed. Since I’m regularly so close to it, I thought about replacing the container-is this acceptable?

    I wouldn’t do any maintenance, it’s up to the CO to care for the cache. And throwdowns are generally frowned upon. But do log a Need Maintenance log so the CO gets informed that there may be an issue with it. As a CO myself this is what I prefer.

    The CO may be inactive and the cache is abandoned, but then the spot will open up again and someone can place a new happy cache in it’s place.
