Adopt a Cache

[+Airborne60MM 0]

I've been offered a cache near me to adopt from another cacher who has moved out of the area. Is there a certain process to adopting said cache?

I think all you need to do is contact the CO and say you will adopt the cache or not.

The cache owner has to be the one to initiate the procedure.

 

Help Center → My Account → Geocaches in General

We have just adopted a cache ourselves.

 

You need to make sure that the email address in your profile is current. Once the cache owner initiates the procedure, you will receive an email advising you of the action. You need to be able to receive that email, and respond as prompted.
