Sure and leave it to the dull-minded elitest flamers who like to frequent message boards in general to put down a good idea. This is definetly not a group concensus but a small percentage of people who like to see themselves beat the subject down with a stick. I was kinda on your side. I think it's fine to evolve and try new things, but.... I'm the minority

Hopefully the purist that keeping looking in the rearview mirror aren't using GPS and iPhones. I'm sure they're plotting the cords by the sun.

Since the majority feel that it's acceptable to back log, that is what we're doing. Heck I know for a lot of them I gave him my GPS and he took over leading us and finding the cache. The only thing I would do was fill out the log book and place it back at the exact spot he found it. I didn't mean to stir up any trouble by asking this question, I am just trying to educate myself as I see there are many different views on how to handle different situations. Thanks for your help and input everyone. We found 4 caches yesterday as a family and did our first night cache. Really cool and the kids loved it

I'm not sure I have a point. But I thought that was part of the game, having fun with the activity and seeing how many you can accrue through the years. I have no problem from him starting from the time we signed him up a few days ago. Since the site logs how many you find, I thought that it's part of the game.

Thanks for your input everyone, I will back date each one he was with me and log it. Tonight we are doing our first night cache. The boy is pretty excited!

Hello all, I've been caching now for a few years. I really enjoy the activity as it gets the family out and about. I have logged only about 100 caches so far. My question is that I signed my oldest son up for his own account yesterday. He has been with me on roughly 50 of them. What is the etiquette on him logging these that he found under his name? Is it ok or should he start with what we find from here on out. Thanks for your help.
