Terminal of the Insane Check out the Oct 23-24 logs.

Kind of an interesting question, I put out one of my puzzle caches Head, Fingers, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes for a GW4 cache run that I hosted and let the folks on the run find it before it post to gc.com. Is FTF still open on this? I'll have to watch this thread.
-
Let's try to keep this as close to the topic as possible, use the other threads if needed to comment on the other hot issues.
Is/are there any circumstances that would allow this to happen?
Can a container be the logbook?
I've heard of these type of micros but have never found one myself. It is basically a sheet magnet with white paint on one side. The white painted side serves as the logbook.
What if the is a malfunction with the container and then a email is sent to the cache owner(s)?
What if a container is cross-threaded, rusted, pinched, or damaged and cannot be opened by hand.
-
Do you have the link or are we throwing around more unsupported allegations?
Okay, here is another bit of info. This darth_maul_3 user is not only signing the outside of the containers as DRR but at later dates as HCT. I have deleted one of their log where HCT signed the outside of my cache.

Out caching today and had just enough batteries to snap a pic of this cache. It was real easy to find.
<snip>
So that container couldn't be retrieved?
One member of the team finds a cache and writes the team sig in the logbook or on the container if the logbook can't be retrievedyes....it appears the cache is on a guardrail, that makes it VERY difficult to retrieve and open, yup best course of action here was signing the container
And they signed it so well, such nice handwriting in nice, thick black letters, yeah that doesn't make that container obvious at all...
thanks for posting the pic, I'll say it again these guys should be ashamed
It wasn't on a guardrail, it was on a lightpole and electric box combo. I retrieved it and signed the logbook.
-
Wait, were both these logs on the same cache?
Nope, different caches.

Out caching today and had just enough batteries to snap a pic of this cache. It was real easy to find. This cache is one of those irony caches. The container is a UPS candy mint tin near a FedEx Kinko's. The container is probably somewhat rare. The cache is called What Can Brown Do For You Today?

I hope you notified the owner so he can repair the vandalism.Out caching today and had just enough batteries to snap a pic of this cache.

I would remove all pics of yourself in your galley and on your profile page. You may also consider removing the "girl" on your name. I would also report the emails to Groundspeak. There are some sick people out there.

I think the honorable thing to do would be renounce the claim to the record and let the prior record stand. It would be in the best interest of the geocaching community as a whole for now and into the future. Doing this will set precedence and start laying the groundwork for a firm set of rules for future cache runs.

If you notice on the pic of the log for Sprinkler's Doom cache there are non-damp spots that are able to be signed.
-
I was one of the people that had their log deleted on the Sprinkler's Doom cache. We went to the cache, found the cache, opened it, and could not log the log. The log was damp, we described the container, the location, and where it was found. We took time and even spoke to residents in the area. Maintenance was not done on the cache and we did what we could with the situation when the cache was found. Bottom line was that we found the cache yet were not able to sign the log. I didn't have a writing utensil that would adhear to the damp paper. I was not part of the DRR team. I came to Texas for GW4 and to cache a lot in the area. We (B.A.B.E Team -- there are four of us women) have had an incredible amount of no finds among our finds. We cache for 18 hours a day and have been able to see a vast mount of the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
I guess I don't udnerstand why my log would be deleted. I went to the area, attempted to sign the cache, described it to the owner, yet our log was still deleted. What is wrong with what we did? As a cache owner if someone told me that there was a problem with my container, described it and the area in which the cache is located, I would not deny them the find. Obviously, they were there and understood the reason why I brought them where I did.
B.Q.
Yes the log was DAMP but it was still able to be signed. So the log was deleted.
-
The Texas locals who posted in this thread weren't very happy about the situation either. I don't think they accepted it, I think they simply didn't know about it until after it was done. Many probably still don't know.
I've posted on the GW4 web site and it has seen little action. While out at GW4 I talked with a lot of folks and nobody seemed to know about what happened. It was kind of sad to see everyone going up and shaking the DRR teams' hands and congratulating them for a job well done when they didn't know the story behind the event.
-
Yes, cache containers were signed by team members during the run if they were not camouflaged and if there was no harm to stealth factor if the cache.
How can they decide on other cache owners' caches that there is no harm to stealth factor of the cache? IMHO that is ONLY the call of the cache owner.

On my Sprinklers Doom (GCPJ14) cache I had to delete the logs. One was from a team that did not sign the log and claimed a find, one was from an individual in town for business that again didn't sign the log, and the others were from members of the team that signed the container. However on my Keller's Donation (GCPK78) cache a team signed the logbook. See pics of the logbook.
-
Perhaps AlabamaRambler or geoPirate will post their side of this issue.
I would also like to hear there side.
-
Teams are in the area attempting to break the record for the number of caches found in a 24 hour period. They are signing DRR in Sharpie on the outside of containers. No date, just DRR.
-
What is your general thoughts on teams or individuals signing the outside of the container rather than taking the time to open the container and signing the logbook. Yes, the contain could be opened and did have a logbook enclosed. I have seen a lot of these containers signed this week in DFW area (for GW4) where teams have been running.

Came upon some by the Light Giants cache in Keller, TX. The were going at it in the picnic shelter

How do I delete a post?
