On a related note, if a cache has not been reported found in a while and the owner is not responding to inquiries about it, what is the process for requesting it be deleted or archived?

But couldn't that just mean that it is very hard to find? Isn't it better that the hider just routinely check it to make sure it's there and in good shape? Then you wouldn't need DNF at all.

I don't even see the need for reporting caches unfound. Is there an actual purpose or is it just to let the hider know how good their cache is hidden?

Any advice on pinpointing a cache location when your GPS doesn't want to cooperate? I've been after a few caches where it will take me 50 yards in one direction, then 40 back the other way and then sometimes in random directions all around. I'm using an HTC One M9 with the free Geocaching app. So frustrating because it just happens sometimes and I never know when it is going to happen until I get way out in the woods.

I don't use the website. The app is where the cache originally appeared as well as where it disappeared.

I fear that if I leave another DNF note, the cache will disappear again and that is not something I want to happen for me, or anyone else in the area who might want to look for this one. So I am leaving no notes on caches any more unless they are found or need maintenance.

I did this while on site of the cache and it actually worked. The cache came back on my map. Too bad we were still unable to find it again this time. Thanks for all your advice everyone!

Hello fellow cachers I am new to this game, but have been hooked for about a week now and am closing in on my 30th cache. Trying to get all the caches available in my area wih the basic free app before I get the paid one so I can find the rest. Anyway, there was a cache showing on my map that I searched for the other day but could not find it. I logged a DNF and left a note and everything. Today I want to being my girlfriend to the same spot to help me look but the same cache is now greyed out on my map and says it is only available on the paid app. I cant afford to buy it yet but am certainly doing so very soon. By why are some caches open to me some days but not others?
