  1. Yeah, we just put the date and our login name (harmgsn, obviously) and re-hide it. We save the good stuff for the website as it normally has more room unlike those crazy small nano-mircos...
  2. This is true in some cases. A friend and I are fairly new to the caching stuff, but we've been hitting on average anywhere from 6 to 20 caches in a given day. Most of them are plain vanilla finds that don't take much effort. If the cache was worthwhile (ie: extremely clever hiding spot, or has something neat near it) then we make note of it in our log book that we carry with us to use on the web log later on. I wouldn't say it's being lazy, but it's more of a lack of anything worthwhile to say. The caches that are creative and fun are the ones that get my good comments, otherwise I will use a canned response and copy/paste it. Hiding a log in a tree or whatever is just plain boring. One cacher in this area (going to remain nameless so I don't spoil anything) creatively hid the cache *IN* a wooden fence post. It was a rural fence post, so it's basically the branch of a tree. Only he hollowed the branch out some and lopped off the end to "contain" the cache. It was an awesome cache that really surprised me. It definitely got a good comment and massive kudos from me. Yes, you are right that lame caches deserve lame logs. Be creative in hiding them. Make it a challenge. I'll also mention that the caches where the GPS is spot-on and you don't have to do any kind of guess work or hunting is quite boring. I'm not saying make it super difficult, but at least be creative in the description. A good example is WeisFamily. Go look at some of their caches... they're in remote places and actually have a story attached to them. Granted, I gave lame logs on those, but after finding 18 in a single day, you're really too tired and just want to get them all entered into the system as fast as possible so you can shower and go to sleep. Anyways, enough rambling from me. Carry on.
  3. LOL. That test is classic. 89% here. And yes, I carry when I geocache, but then again, I carry usually anyways. I have a CHL (in Texas we call it a Concealed Handgun License) and I'm normally carrying one on my hip. If it's not comfortable to carry on my hip then I have a Taurus PT-140 that I have in my geobag that goes with me when I'm geocaching. Yes, I do go out into rural areas where there is wild life to be concerned about (like tasty rabbits... or dove...) but we also have snakes and normally the round thats in my chamber is snake shot (first 2 are snake, then hollow point). Well, at least in the Taurus it's that way. The one on my hip is an HK USP .45 Compact and it's full of gold dot hollow points. Yeah, so I'm a bit of a gun nut. Welcome to Texas, right?
