Not if the puzzle is an older one. There didn't used to be a distance limit. The best way is to make a cache listing with the name "COORDS CHECK PLEASE" and put in the coords where you want to hide a cache and submit it for review with a note not to publish. Once you get an OK back then you go hide your cache. I think this is probably the best option, although I had considered having a crack at the puzzles, although, I'm not the shapest knife in the drawer when it comes to them I understand this rule is to avoid someone seeking the puzzle cache from inadvertantly discovering mine, and vice versa, but if they are both different cache containers, or sizes or whatever, with at least several metres separating them, or even my traditional clearly marked 'NOT PUZZLE CACHE (insert name here)" perhaps some leeway might be possible? Like most, I like my hides to be in interesting spots, not just placed in the only position available to them.

Yesterday I decided to place a couple of caches not far from my new home. After searching for good spots, rejecting one for being too close to another traditional cache, avoiding muggles, concocting names and prepping the caches, hiding them and returning to create pages and submit, both were rejected for being too close to the final locations of seperate puzzle caches. The reveiwer claimed that although I had checked the box saying I'd read the guidelines re placement, I had missed the 'fundamental placement guidelines'. How can you know the location of a puzzle cache without having solved them???

For what it's worth, here's a facebook group I started... http://www.facebook.com/groups/323673404309636/

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting the above macro to work, it has worked fine in the past until I changed my username in geocaching.com. The macro insists on trying to log in under the old name, and I get a message in the 'dos box' saying its incorrect, but no indication on how to remedy the problem. I have changed my GC username in GSAK but this has no effect. Thanks in advance.

Lucky me, I'm off to London in September... leaving from Melbourne... so if you have a TB or GC that needs to get there as part of its mission, send me an email

Or bad contents! WOW!!! An AA battery! and my boy got himself a lighter!
