[how can i adopt a cache for someone?]

If you are asking how to transfer an existing cache to some cacher other than yourself, no way.  If you want to adopt an exiting cache see the above post. The existing cache owner must initiate the procedure, but you can request the adoption. If the owner is no longer caching and does nothing there is nothing to do.

 

If the cache is missing or such the proper  logs will eventually initiate the fix it or lose it status -notice from the reviewer. If it gets archived you can place your own new cache there - discard remnants of the old one. If the cache is still viable and being found there is nothing you can do until the owner begins the adoption process. 

[How do I get into geocaching?]

It looks like you hyave found ten caches so your are already "in" Welcome

[Drafts in the App.]

"interesting. IPhone, perhaps? My screen on Android."

 

on the iPhone like shown by geoAwareUSA9, on the main geocaching page shows time, as mentioned right below finds then towards the bottom 

[Drafts in the App.]

 Mine show up the Profile page in two place, near the top under finds, and lower as stated above

[ALs found by another cacher]

I think was C & O Canal :Exploring Lock 44, could have been Cushwa  Basin in Williamsport , two of three in close proximity in Williamsport, Md. I cannot locate that message  now to be sure.

 

The answers I have to write done  if they are coordinates numbers, not smart enough to know how to out them into my iPhone - find the answers, write them down and then then use answers get the coordinates I usually enter them as corrected coordinates on geocaching.com

 

[ALs found by another cacher]

I received  a message from a geocacher asking me to supply the numbers found in questions of all stages of one AL. I said he lost his paper with the answers and would like me to provide him the numbers I figured out and did find the bonus. I tried to see what ALs he has logged  as found using Project PC, he is there but blocked his data. 

 

Sounds fishy to me. If I knew he did find the stages, and depending on where he lives, I may help. Sounds like "I want a find".

[Trackable status change]

Maybe delete the log and start over?

[Can I view my friends finds?]

The only way I know is not on the app or Geocaching.com, but using Project-PC. Under profile and enter user name.

 

I think you can find their logged caches on Geocaching.com by clicking on their user name on one of their logged finds, if you do not know a logged find then no.

[Sorry, not sure what category I should use to ask]

My brother, also a geocacher, received personally from the maker, a small handmade coin type item with numbers on it. He received it from  the person who made it while she visited a cache of his, we do not know if it is trackable, I do not think she said. I guess we can try to go through the process of finding  one. I have not yet seen it to see the number . 

 

Edit Looked at cache page and no trackable shown in it--no room anyway come to think of it.

[Premium??]

Welcome to Geocaching - go at your own pace and enjoy .What part your city do you live?

[Cache of the week list]

I looked at the listened found four within a reasonable  distance  from me,  the distance must be straight line not travel distance though.Thanks  for the link.

[Difficulty / Terrain rating changes - What would you do?]

Could you leave it as it now is and make a note in the description the change and the reason?

[Geocaching age requirements?]

I am not sure about age requirement for your own account but do not see why there would be restrictions on attending event . Getting to them may be a small problem to solve. 

 

I asked the Help section for advice.

 

Welcome to Geocaching

[Show us your TOTT!]

What I normally carry is my iPhone and a pen; completely forgetting mycaching pack with tweezers, extra bags ,etc.  I normally have in my pocketat all times a small bison tune looking tool used to rewind very small logs. I have a Garmin Etrex which at times wish I Hadith me-= but then  need to remember to download caches first!

[First hide stolen before it got published.]

It maybe that was too open and someone figured it to be litter. I think it best to hide from easy view. Maybe covering with some natural item that will be blown away or removed as rubbish or such. Did you get permission from the park?

[Trackable Date of create.]

I take it for granted you refer to one you put into the system. I would go back the the Trackable history page under My Trackables, and look to the right and see what you can do under Edit. I am sure others will provide help.

[Logging a TB into a cache]

Are you referring to a Trackable you found in another cache and  moving it on (drop) or did you get a new Trackable to place for the first time?

 

 

[Log Premium cache found with Premium Member]

Maybe I am wrong, but I thought only Premium Caches showed only to Premium Members. But once the cache located and the physical log is signed (which any finder can sign) it can be logged as found on Geoicaching.com under that appropriate cache.

 

After writing that I realized if the cache does not show up to a non-Premium Member they would have no way to log it online. I guess maybe on your log as Premium Member include the other cacher's user name in the narrrative - won"t  help his stats but the history of finding is there.

 

I am sure there will be  better responses.

[If I have starting coords, bearing and distance, how can I get the location coordinates?]

Thank you, learn something everyday--sometimes remember it also.

[Puzzle cache with no way to get coords]

First off, I  am in Pennsylvania so cannot just drop by to check this one out. But I do know one place I would look at pretty soon after arriving at the appropriate spot. Determining that spot though may not be easy. Maybe a map of the park might help. I may just go back to the cache page and look under directions to see what I might see.

 

Take notice, it was found the day it was published and four times later. Good luck.

Simple trig.

"The time has come" the Walrus said "to speak of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and Kings".

simple trig? I could not get through algebra!

 

Ran into this exact dilema recently, had a puzzle cache to decipher which I was able  to do with a bit of help, a bit more than I expected actually, but the clue led to finding the cache by bearing and distance, I wanted to try to get coordinates for the second part, mostly to see  if could do it.The second part of the cache involved is lessthan 100 feet away so eyeball navigation should suffice - have not yet made it back to get the cache.

[Map display of found caches]

should be able to get it from ProjectPC, but you need to subscribe

[changing cache category]

Why? Did the box move?

No, nothing moved. The only reason I considered changing anything is because when the second correct coordinates are determined they show when plotted on the Direction to cache map they show at a wrong spot. And apparently for some also on the tool they use to find the coordinates -- iPhone , Garmin etc. BUT some have found it and said coordinates are okay. 

 

I recently found a puzzle cache description with a puzzle which gave me ideas. Maybe leave as a multi and tweak the description

[changing cache category]

I have an  active multi - cache in place and wondering if is is allowed to change the category to a puzzle cache and change the description to a puzzle type. Nothing else will change. I have presently a first stage with clues to figure to determine the coords to the next stage, which is not far away. 

[How do I search for a public list?]
