As a newbie I am not quite sure of what I am doing yet, although I have found one cache (yipee), but common sense tells me that I wouldn't complain about not finding it and then logging it. I did have trouble a couple of days ago and asked the advice of the cache owner - not for the answers, just to let them know that if I was in the right place then the cache was missing. As many of you have said, why whine about it, just get out there and enjoy the walk, if you don't find it there is always another time.
