Can anyone tell me how to go about adopting a cache? The owner is readily willing to allow me to adopt it, but I don't know how to go about doing that. Any help out there?

I started geocaching 2 months ago at the age of 52 after being introduced to the sport by a 22-year-old friend. Two of my kids, ages 22 and 19, are both geocachers now, as is my fiance, age 50.

I searched for a cache in New Mexico, Santa Fe Trail NM-01, that was listed as needing maintenance back in February. It appears to still be in the same condition as it was back then - remnants of a plastic container with no lid, no log book, nothing to identify it as a Geocache site.
It's a great location and worthy of a cache, but I feel it either needs to be temporarily unavailable until it is brought up to standard by the owner, adopted or archived.
To whom does this get reported and how?
Log a Needs Maintenance note, in most cases.
This one sounds like it's been down a while so I would log a Should Be Archived note and ask the Reviewer to deal with it.

Thanks, Ed - I went ahead and logged an SBA.

Not a getting started issue. Moving to appropriate forum
I am brandy new to this - only been geocaching for a few months now. How do I find the appropriate forum for questions?

I have read all guidlines on geocaching.com for placing caches, but I still have a question: As the owner of a cache, I am responsible for its maintenance; if I have someone not interested in actively finding caches, but anxious to be responsible for maintaining the physical cache, is this acceptable? The only way I saw to have this question answered would be to submit it in the online form; however, I don't want to go through setting up and placing the cache if this is not even remotely possible. Any help from seasoned cachers/reviewers/etc?
