Me too!

+1 that's why I got a watch that tells me the day and date as well as the time. Being retired the day of the week is the hardest to remember.

I always date the physical log for the date I find the cache and use the same date on line. As a Cache Owner I find it helpful to check a physical log against the online log when there is a date.

Sums thing up very well. Anyone can sue, but not everyone wins. Will I continue to cache? Yes! Have I suffered injuries? Yes, minor ones. Would I sue? Not in a million years! I assume the risk for my actions.

Before I delete a log I send the logger am email telling them that there wasn't a physical log in the cache an ask if they may have used a different name or a group name. In 10-14 days if I haven't heard back I delete the log. Several times I've gotten an email back saying the log was in error and they have deleted it.

+1 The old one worked so it had to go. Wish TPTB would set up opinion under your profile where you could select either old or new.

Yes, I do wish the PTB would devote there energy on this. I understand the problems with the old system and agree that the old virtual caches can not come back, but how about something along the line of earthcaches except with educational or historical value introduced.

+1 The ability/opportunity/desire to find caches is completely unrelated to the ability/opportunity/desire to hide and maintain caches. +2 My ratio is 1124/45 not that it matters. In the early times there was a form post about this where the concern was that not enough new caches were being hid. The general consensus was 1 hide for 10 finds (kind of hard to imagine today). Ok, my Karma ratio is 5374 logs divided by 1124 finds equals 4.78! I found a couple of interesting things while complying this ratio: On my 20 cache off-road series the logs range from 20 to 33 logs I would have figured they would be closer to the same. The cache with the most logs has 932 and the least has 6 logs, no finds.

In order to get the answers you must visit the site. After obtaining the answers then email the answers to the Cache Owner or CO who is ohiograndpa. Enjoy the cache it looks interesting.

I don't often travel to cache but I do cache while I travel. Back on the subject. I date the find log for the date I have completed all of the requirements. If I have completed the ALRs when I find the physical cache then the day of the find is the day of the log. If I haven't completed the ALR when I find the physical cache then I will log a note with the find date and then a second log, a find log with that date, when I have completed the ALR. My reasons are the same as when I go back and find a cache that I have DNFed and that is to maintain my catching history a Note then a Find.

It really depends on the cache. A micro under a lamp post cover, as little time as possible. A back country cache with a nice view much longer. In the old days when there weren't that many caches I might spend a whole day to find just one, so we spent a lot longer at the cache. From a log posted in July 2003 "The view from here is great! Spent some time listening to the radio, after tuning it to a country station and enjoying the view."

Once when looking for a puzzle cache I found a different regular cache. Figured out what cache it was and logged it. Never did find or log the puzzle cache.

Isn't part of being a Boy Scout is "Be Prepared "? I keep all my geocaching stuff in one bag that's really EZ to grab and it contains several pens and pencils.

Well, yeah, that would be pretty stupid. +1

If it's one of my caches, I email the logger telling them what happened and offer to delete their duplicate log. Most of the time they email me back saying thanks and they delete their own duplicate log. Someone else cache not my problem.

+1 Sure won't hurt. As long as the quiz was short and gave the correct answer when a wrong one was entered, I don't think it would turn anyone off to caching.

Exactly! You found it, you signed the logsheet at the cache, and you log it online. No further action is necessary, at least at this time. +1

My opinions are in italics

+1. The only problem I see here is replacing the cache in it's original spot.

I think that this is the correct, most clear answer. "Fuzzy" coordinates should never be deliberate. Good coordinates should be the goal for every stage. But, yes...sometimes people will use bad coordinates on purpose. Some others just can't get good accuracy at a site. And this is why people should post "better" coordinates when they find them, and owners should update the coordinates when people are able to find better ones than what is provided on the cache page. Agreed, deliberate fussy coordinates should never happen and such caches need to be archived.

I had one that was muggled twice within a very short period. Seems like it was close to and somewhat visible from a trail. Moved it about 400 feet and it been fine for about 10 years. I also had one that was muggled before it was found. It was archived with no finds. So hang in there, it just part of the game.

I use non-rechargeable batteries in my 13+ year old GPS V. Not only that I use ones that no longer will work in other devices but seem to work fine in the GPS V. Yes I know it's an old unit and that there are many newer ones but it works great, has great accuracy and is very rugged.

agreed, not the game I've played for 13 years.
