Does Geocaching.com (or a volunteer) physically check the cache before approving it?
We wish! We’d love to head out to all those countries and states to check on each and every cache to ensure that they are placed properly. Based on the growth of the sport, however, this would be impossible. If you’re not sure about a cache, wait for someone else to check on it and report back to the site. Before a cache is posted, volunteers check the page for inaccuracies, bad coordinates, and appropriateness before posting the cache to the site.
