I have just come across a thread in the GC.com Earthcache forum that describes changes that are about to come into force governing the creation of Earthcaches.

(The thread is at https://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/in...owtopic=236625)

Basically, Earthcaches will need to be submitted to GC.com after the 30th of November, and meet with all the normal cache rules, including proximity to any other caches, and being near where you live. There is already a debate in progress over whether this is good or bad, but it seems to be a done deal!
