Cache Location

Post by NativTxn » Thu Jan 27, 2011 10:13 am

I had started a Moving Cache from a location near my office (which has been moved a couple of times now). It was actually a good spot and I'd like to put a traditional cache in the original spot. Is that okay? The icons would show to be in the same place on the map, but the Moving cache is not at that location anymore.
If you hide it, they will come!

Ummm, this might be a silly question but what is a "moving cache"?

From the OCUS wiki page.
A moving cache changes its location after each find. Everyone who found it, moves it to a new location and publishes the new coordinates in its log in the service. Log a note of your intent to hunt for it so others know you going after it. If you find it and take it, please log your find quickly. If possible leave an indicator like an "X" on the ground in its place to signal to a following geocacher that it's gone. When you rehide it, please conceal it well and make sure your coordinates are accurate. When you post that you have rehidden it, please include the new coordinates and new difficulty/terrain rating. When you report the new location, please make a new entry (Post a Note) so owner cache receive an email message to alert of the new position.

I've recently read a guardrail cache that is like this. The CO asks that after each find that the cache is place in a new place on the guardrail.
