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?
If I happen to have a spare container with me, usually I’ll replace a damaged one. IMO if you found the original and know where it was, that’s not the same as putting out a random throwdown for a missing cache.
If it’s a specially made container, I’d probably just log Needs Maintenance, but if you’re just replacing a pill bottle with something similar I would think it’s fair game. In any case definitely mention it in your log
