* Monitor logs for reported problems.* Post an Owner Maintenance log after doing maintenance.* Update the cache page if conditions or coordinates change.* Disable a cache page when the cache is not available or you need time to fix reported problems. A cache page can stay disabled for a reasonable amount of time - generally up to four weeks.* Occasionally mark trackables as missing if they are not in the geocache.* Delete logs that appear to be false or inappropriate.#### Maintain geocache containerTo keep the geocache in proper working order, the cache owner must* Visit the geocache regularly.* Fix reported problems (such as replace full or wet logbook, replace broken or missing container).* Make sure the location is appropriate and change it if necessary.* Remove the geocache container and any physical stages within 60 days after the cache page is archived.Cache owners who do not maintain their existing caches in a timely manner may temporarily or permanently lose the right to list new caches on Geocaching.com.#### Changes after publicationIf you make changes to your cache page or container after publication, and it no longer complies with guidelines, your cache may be disabled or archived.### Physical cachesFor all geocache types with multiple stages, the additional physical or virtual stages must be added to the cache page as Additional Waypoints.* A physical stage is a waypoint where the cache owner has placed an item, such as a container or a tag.* A virtual stage is a waypoint where the cache owner has not placed an item. Geocachers gather information at virtual stages to help them find or complete the cache.For physical caches other than challenge caches, any additional logging requirement (ALR) beyond finding the cache and signing the log must be optional. Caches can be logged online as "Found" after the geocacher has visited the coordinates and signed the logbook.
