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.
