Is it within the guidelines to resize my cache from a micro to a small? It it also within the guidelines to relocate the cache in under 50 ft and change it's coordinates, but remains on the same property? There is no existing caches nearby under a mile.

Yes, but you may get messages from angry geocachers saying you messed up their stats/grid. Just letting you know this may happen. Feel free to tell them you don't care about their stats, and your responsibility is to your cache.  ?

Yes.  As a courtesy to players, it's also a good idea to make adjustments in the Description, if there are specific references to the original cache, so that the information is current, along with adjustments in the size, and D/T if necessary.

 

Coordinate adjustments are allowed up to about 528 feet or so, so 50 feet shouldn't be an issue.  A log is generated that the local Reviewer will have access to, to review the new placement.

Sweet. I need to just move it from the mailbox post. I was thinking it might be a borderline with the federal postal laws.

I will the small container ready and move it sometime tonight.

 

Thanks

You are correct.  An old thread, but relevant to the discussion:

Thanks for the article. The cache was not inside of the mailbox but behind it on the post. I don't want the neighbors calling the police to report possible mail theft and putting Geocachers in risk of a federal investigation. It's best to just move the cache just a little bit to keep Geocachers safe.
