We are boarding a plane to Disney World next Saturday and I want to claim some caches while in Florida. We have one of those all inclusive plans though so we wont be leaving Disney property. but I hear they have virtual caches there. Problem is Im not sure what a virtual cache is. So I would be thankful for any help. What are they and how do you do them?

I didnt mean to criticize the way anyone logs, I simply ment to ask the what happened? Why doesnt anyone take the time anymore? But after posting this I do see that there are still people who enjoy the log as much as the cache. And like someone else said, we arnt looking for a novel, just that happy medium. As for smart phone logging, I log on mine all the time but still manage more than TFTC. There are some folks in our area that log, temporary logs on smartphone and then edit when they get home....Ive done this a few times. and what is LPC??? and is it okay to respond when someone logs on your cache.

Im am not simply talking about my caches, I am talking about all caches. Before I go out and find a cache I like to read if others had fun going for it or not. and just because a cache doesnt have alot of favorite points doesnt mean it isnt fun, so you cant rely on that always. and if it is my cache, not looking for a pat on the back, just opions, if it sucked, tell me so I can do something about it. This post was ment to get people thinking about what caching is supposed to be, not start a bicker fit amongest us all. So to future posters in this topic, please if you dont have anything nice, or at least not productive to say...dont say anything at all.

To who asked, I ment logging on the website, after the fact. I'm not sure what an LPC is, lame placed cache? Ive not placed an urban cache, Im not a huge fan of micro's, I dont discrimanate but I have kids and what they enjoy is looking thru all the stuff in the cache, so I prefer regulars in the woods. Is it appropriate to comment on logs as the CO? I have always thought about commenting, but have just recently started hiding them. I would love to comment on some of the things people write. I do care about reading them, my children also enjoy reading about folks finding our caches. And like someone else mentioned, I enjoying reading others logs looking for that subtle hint to help me out. I know we live in a fast paced world where time seems to be in such short supply, but come on peeps this is supposed to be a leisure activity, so take an extra minute and share with your fellow cachers how you smelled the roses.

When I first started geocaching and read all the how to's and what's the purposes....they all had one thing in common. When you log a visit to a cache, tell about your experience, record what you left and/or took, and thank the owner. Well I see people thank the owner all the time and that is great but rarely do I see anything else. I want to see all the great funny stories about the adventure people had when they found my cache. Was it hard, did you find it right away? Did you find it by accident? Did something funny or scary happen when you were looking? What did you take, ( I hand make personalized trinkets to leave behind, sometimes it would be nice to know who has one.), what did you drop off? Am I wrong or has the art of logging really been lost? I know when you are logging in the field it might be hard, but you can edit when you get home, I do.

If you take a trackable, you should log it ASAP, so that others no that it is gone and you dont forget about it. Nothing worse than lost trackables, in my opionion.
