+GeoElmo6000 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I have it from a good source that Geocaching HQ will be announcing these updated geocaching rules shortly: Signing a log is no longer required - viewing a geocache shall count as a find To increase the challenge of finding a cache, exact coordinates shall no longer be required If a geocacher cannot find a cache, throwdown caches shall be used to help oneself and future finders Taking something from a cache shall no longer require the leaving of something in return In order to save on data storage on Groundspeak servers, a log of "TFTC" shall be encouraged on all caches Cache finders shall replace the cache in better hiding spots than where they were found, if possible Spoiler photos shall be used to help future geocache finders in their search Any rules written above this shall be considered false in commemoration of this day of April the first foolishness 2 9 Quote Link to comment
+frostengel Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Don't forget: Geocaching will not be the same as it has been for years as geocache containers will not be important any more. They will call it "adventure" lab and it will be much more exciting compared to walking through the woods. Oh wait.... that's a true fact. I am sorry, wrong day. :-( 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Platinum members will be able to see the final coordinates of all mystery and multi caches on the planning map. They can also purchase extra favorite points on shop geocaching. 1 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment

+Mudfrog Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 To keep geocache owners in fine tune with their maintenance responsibilities, finders are encouraged to leave containers open, take up logbook space by writing big incoherent jibberish, replace the cache 50 feet from where they found it, and/or just remove any caches that they find. 1 Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 May 8th is "Retro Logging Day" , and any CO may log their own cache as found once, after placing an OM first. 1 Quote Link to comment
