+Pix_Z Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 About to create my first geocache. I am wondering how the publishing and placement is coordinated? Do I have to place my geocache first, anticipating that it could be published while I am at work or asleep? Or do I get notice of if and when my cache will be published so that I can then place my cache between submitting it and it getting published? Quote Link to comment

Yes to this..... have it hidden in place at the time you hit the submit button.... it could be published minutes later..... Quote Link to comment

The Guidelines should be read before hiding a cache. https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx 6. Submitting a Geocache Listing Geocache must be in place before you enable the listing. Your cache should be in place and ready to be found at the time your cache listing is enabled online. If the cache is not ready for seeking, disable your cache listing so that it won't appear in the review queue and post a Reviewer Note explaining special circumstances, such as awaiting permission from a land manager.

I'm new to this and had the same questions as you, but learned on my first hide. You can create your cache listing and save it without submitting it for review. This is a good work process if you want to write the GC# and name on the cache container and log. Create your listing and save it, prepare your container and hide it, then come back and publish. I've been concentrating on puzzles, some of which are complicated so I needed to come back and edit the cache listings several times before I'm satisfied they're ready and push the publish button.
