There is no rule against logging the same cache twice. One cache "Sheep Watch IV" has had other names. I have logged it as "Sheep Watch' and "Sheep Watch III". Another cache here in Michigan gets moved every 6 months and the owner expects multiple logs. In both of these cases, my stats include both finds.

I believe most cachers would prefer it to be a new cache but that decision is up to the owner.  This is because the cache will not show up as caches you have not found, so many will not realize it is a new cache.

So the answer to your question is yes you can do it. Yes it will count. But it is probably not the best thing to do. I suggest disabling it for now and if you can't get the new one approved next year then reuse it.

  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Question about cache rules


  The city of Mesa has just informed the public that the statues for Winter Art Walk cache will remain until April 4th 2003. The cache will be available until then. This virtual cache seems to have been a popular one and we would like to keep it. The new virtual cache rules make it unlikely that a new one will be approved next year. We were thinking about disabling it until next year's statues are in place. Since next year's statues will be completely different, the cache will be essentially a new cache just with the same name.  Does anyone know if cachers can log a find on the same cache twice and receive credit for it?

  To respond to Panda77's question...we've noticed the same thing. What seems like a small hill to very fit people is Mount Everest to those who have physical limitations or are out of shape. This is where cache descriptions are very helpful. That is how we decide to get a cache or not. As soon as yard work is done (weeds weeds weeds) we will be heading out your way to hit some of your caches. We've enjoyed yours.

  "Something hidden.  Go and find it. Go and look behind the Ranges --
    "Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you. Go!"
