I agree with this completely. Mrs. L has been keeping a notebook when we go caching on day trips or vacations. It's a lot like a photo album. She'll make notes about anything unusual, humorous, etc. and we write our online logs from this notebook. We keep the notebook in the Jeep and when a non-cacher gets in and thumbs through it they take an interest in caching. Sometimes we'll flip through it ourselves and talk about certain caches and experiences. If we wrote TNLNSL then we obviously missed the entire point of geocaching. Geocaching is many things to many people. I think you would be hard pressed to find a majority of cachers who enjoy spending the bulk of their time in the geocaching hobby behind the computer. Maybe I'm wrong. I'd rather be "out there". If you want to fondly recall your year by reading your logs, all the more power to you. I personally take photos of my day and interesting things along the way. Could care less about the cache itself. Glad someone was kind enough to share their little spot with me (For example GCFFD3). A picture is worth a thousand words. Maybe those who enjoy just getting out for a nice walk and maybe taking some photos along the way should begin a campaign against those who have no profile or have no photo entries. Journaling and logging is great......for you. It is NOT the "entire point of geocaching".

It has probably already been said but I'm just as lazy with reading ALL of the posts as I am with posting ALL of my logs. If I've been out all day there is a lot of logging to do and I don't often want to do it. I also do not recall the specifics of all the caches. Cut and paste and move on. Do you have any idea how many butter containers there are just tossed out in the woods? HOW in the world some people choose their cache locations is a mystery to me. Perfectly good scenic spot a few hundred feet away, but NNNOOOOO..... have to put it under the pile of soggy logs in the middle of a peat bog. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad someone took the time to put SOMETHING out there. I just don't feel obliged or inspired to devote my entire evening to expounding on the virtues of THAT kind of cache.
