General Geocaching Guidelines

I hope you have previously read, and understand the Geocache Guidelines listed here, and also the specific information about placing your first geocache here. If not, please do so now. This may save us both time, and hassle later. Unfortunately, a significant number of new geocache submission denials are for guideline violations. It is essential that you have a clear understanding of the placement requirements. Additionally, you may also check out this Geocaching 101 page for more information.

Geocaching with Disabilities

I feel it is very important to help those with disabilities confidently attempt a geocache that is labelled correctly. Please only use the "1" terrain if someone in a wheelchair can get to ground zero, AND retrieve/replace the geocache, especially when they are by themselves. You can see this information here.

Making Your Cache Page Stand Out

If you would like to know how to make your cache page stand out by adding an embedded picture or using HTML to change the way your text looks, then be sure to check out this article, and this article in the Help Center.

Night Caches

If UV/Paint is used, each spot must be marked as a PHYSICAL WAYPOINT. If you are using small fire tacks, they may be marked as VIRTUAL WAYPOINTS.

Underground/Tunnel Crawl Caches

These are allowed, but require explicit permission from the governing authority of the tunnels.

Virtual Posted Coordinates

Generally, the posted coordinates for a puzzle cache or wherigo cache are virtual coordinates. They must not be placed in any restricted area. This helps avoid confrontations for new geocachers who may not understand what a virtual waypoint is.

Geocaches are not allowed in Wyoming USFS Wilderness areas.Visit their web sitesitee to contact them with further questions.
