Is it normal to move a cache?

[+Cjbear087]

So recently one of my caches got completely destroyed - assuming by a muggle. So once I’ve repaired it I’m going to move it further down the road but still the same road. Is this okay and am I going to have to resubmit an entire thing for a reviewer?

There is a limit to the distance you can update the coordinates to. Also hopefully it does not infringe on a proximity to another cache. Talk to your reviewer they can definately help and should be able to quickly tell you if there is a problem.

You can edit the coordinates yourself up to a tenth of a mile, or 528 ft.

The reviewer will know if these new coordinates conflict with the physical location of a different geocache. 

Like MNTA posted above, you can always check with the reviewer on the new coordinates.

One of my caches was muggled, along with several others in the area that were all probably muggled by immature adolescents. I left it disabled for a few weeks to give the bored kids time to find some other amusement, and when I replaced the cache, I used a different container with different camouflage, and moved it to a slightly different spot (but still in the same corner of the community garden). That's perfectly normal.

 

If the essential experience of finding the cache changes, then I think it's better to archive the old listing and create a new listing. For example, if my cache had moved from the community garden to the nearby church parking lot, then I would have created a new listing, even if the new location was within 528ft/161m of the old location. On the other hand, churning cache listings by archiving and relisting for every little change is annoying. If the essential experience is still the same, then leave the listing in place and just edit it to reflect the changes.

Ah okay, I mean the location of the cache isn’t very important for this one, it’s the cache that is very special and I spent a lot of time doing woodwork with it and spent a lot of money lol. Also, the road isn’t very big either so I think it will be fine to just update the coords. Thanks
