Ok, so I looked through the forum. I cleared cookies and its fixed.

The zipper on my winter coat seems to affect my compass. Do the spinning around thing that people recommend but try to hold the phone at least about a foot away from your body.

If I cannot find a cache I obviously mark it as dnf, but as I was where it should be I have been marking my trackable patch as visiting since I did travel the mileage after all. Does this seem reasonable?

I once left an hdtv antenna in a cache.

Its a good thing I'm left handed.

Good point. I didn't consider that a sticker or writing the numbers would be bad, but it is tiny graffiti I guess. I was only thinking about the fact that there isn't a box to scare the police. You don't need to go into the traffic side to see it, visible from the sidewalk.

I'm familiar with this cache, it is in toledo. The stage on the bridge doesn't have a container, just some coord numbers you're supposed to find, but it might still create the issue of people looking suspicious. Once again, there is not container on the bridge though.

I've come to the conclusion they need to change "Found it" to "signed log". With the accuracy of gps, finding the location is not much of the accomplishment, but it would save me a lot of time wandering in the woods (lol)

well I would normally not post a NM for DNFs but this one seemed like a special circumstance based on the logs. Its the only time I did that. My other NMs were damage to container and missing log as well as possibly wrong location.

I will always mark a DNF and DNF even if I thinks its just gone. I'm just cheating myself if I don't. If I haven't physically signed the cache assuming there is paper in there then its not a Found. I've left notes to the effect of "need to come back with a pen" but I do not mark those as a found. I probably won't go after that one until I know there is something there for me not to find. Yes apparently people have found some very Clintonesque ways of inerpreting the word "found"

Hi cheech, you live in the same area as me! If there's no indication of a problem then I wouldn't think the owner needs to check it. I've noticed that things get labeled NM and then a kindly visitor fixes it. IE new log inserted but then the nm never gets cleared. Reading the logs goes a long way, I've made the mistake of going for something on the map only to find when I go to log the dnf that i'm the 10 person to do so and its probably gone.

GC2CJ5G is the one that I wasn't sure what to do with, per descriptions its probably not there but peoples pride seems to prevent them from posting dnf. I want to go after this one but yes I would like to know its there before I try. If I know its there and I can't find it when I get there I will gladly post a dnf, but the effort involved to get there means I want a fair chance of finding it. But I did email the co about posting an nm improperly.

Co emailed. Maybe he would have checked on it if all the people that didn't find it had reported it dnf. So my revised question is, when I see an issue such as a possibly missing cache but I can't say nm cause I'm not sure and no one was willing to mark a dnf since they found the location is the best/only way to bring attention to the issue to email the co? what if they don't do anything about it what next?

I think I will email the CO about the one on the island and apologize for marking it NM without visiting it. Its probably not there but you are right i'm being hypocritical. The logs indicate it's been muggled but thats for the co to figure out. now after I contact him if he doesn't check on it then i'll revisit the issue.

I try to avoid caches that are marked NM. the problem is I have seen ones marked needs maintenance and they just didn't find it. Its my understanding that you need to find it to mark it that. A string of DNFs perhaps indicates its not there and then I would think the CO should check on it, if they don't maybe a nm? I did mark one cache NM without visiting as the logs of the past two years indicate they didn't find it but found the location. if its being marked found how in the world is the CO supposed to know it might be gone? I know this is rambling but logging these things right seems important to keeping caches there and keeping them clean and maintained. I don't want to hunt for caches that aren't there because people didn't log it right, or to pass over a cache thinking its damaged and nothings wrong with it. Whats everyone's opinions?
