All of the replies, albeit with various perspectives, are valid and noted. It has definitely given me a better understanding of the value of logging a DNF. Until I get a little better at first-attempt finds, I will just be a noob geocacher and log each visit - regardless of the outcome!

Being a neophyte at geocaching (but loving every minute of it!), I would like to ask about the etiquette of logging a DNF. There are times when I can locate a cache quickly and others when I have to pace and ponder and ultimately return to cache another day. Should I log a DNF each time I am unsuccessful in locating a cache due purely to my inexperience? Or should I log a DNF when I'm absolutely out of ideas as to where to locate it?

could this be it?

one more time

and another one.

This is another test.
