Well I guess I have nothing worth while to contribute to the forums because of my lack of more than 100 finds. So I suppose I will no longer bother, granted I haven't posted more than I have found but I guess I'm getting close. People are entitled to their opinions but I guess it only matters if you have reached a certain quota, oh well. Sad

Maybe its just me and my newness to the sport but... Although I agree with several of the posts here, I go out searching for caches for my own enjoyment. period. If I find it great, if I dont well its beat me for the time being. I log whether I find them or if they turn out to be a dnf. If I come up with a dnf, I will go back and search again but I will log it. I guess if people want to be in it for the number race and do decide that they dont want a dnf to tarnish their "score", well then so be it for them. It's not why I go out. Perhaps the ones who get bent out of shape when you call it vanity or pride are the same ones who are afraid of tarnishing their numbers. Afterall, as humans we tend to get defensive when something negative is pointed out in our character. As for loggin dnf's for the owners benefit, I can understand the importance of notifying the owners of possible issues and agree with that, but, it is also the owners resposability to check it regularly, not wait for several dnf's. Around here, there are several people that know each other on a personal basis and from reading logs I can guess that they have checked out the accuracy of each others caches. What better way to meet up with fellow goecachers in your area. As for me, I will continue to report my dnf's and enjoy the sport as its intended. With so many people involved and no real "rules" on whether to log or when to log a dnf, its near impossible to get us all on the same page.

I found some ammo cans at a local army surplus store. Even in the small area I live in they were findable ( is that a word ) you can look at yard sales or flea markets too
