The best times out caching are the times that my wife and my son are with me. She doesn't enjoy it as much as I do, and her feet start to hurt after the second mile or so.
The owner of said cache has not logged in since October 2006, they have 10 finds posted. The cache already had a NM on it. I think you did the right thing.
