Need to be posted DNF's

[+501_Gang]

Is there a way to find out how many DNF's you have?

Go to your My Account page and click on Didn't Find It. You will have to count how many you have listed.

When I go to my account and look up finds and geocaches, it brings up details and then I can filter by any number of criteria.

Thanks! Never thought of looking for those before.

 

Looks like 30 is all we have so far.

[+PaHawkeye]

154 DNF's - changed my DNF bookmark to shared so you can all see my failures!!

(and 7 hides)

 

How's that for honesty?

Dang. I just knew I was going to win this one!

Half the fun of the game is hiding caches for other folks to find. Just think, that 363 is just my hides, my wife Better Half has almost 100 cache hides herself so between the two of us that about 450+ hides!

Does multiple DNFs on one cache count as one or the number you posted?

 

For anyone trying to get to their list of DNFs try this link while signed on and count.

Thanks for the great time and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

 

Congrats BBB & PaHawkeye!

[+BackBrakeBilly]

Thanks for the holiday gift! It had been a great pleasure placing caches for others to hunt over the past 3 years and I will continue to put more out as I find new spots, that a promise!

 

Wish y'all were all here with us in Florida for the next week of our week long caching trip which started today!

 

Thanks again!

Check above posts. Go to your profile, look at the geocaches tab and filter by clicking on caches not found.

Too bad you didn't get in before the deadline. Checked out your site though and it is pretty cool..

At least I'm honest... 10% failure rate..

 

A lot of people don't post their DNFs

[+Mystery Ink]

Since there were not that many on this thread, anybody that posted last night. Send me mail address via PM and will send out a little holiday cheer.

 

I have 5 addresses so far.

 

[ParentsofSAM]

Wow you are a nice guy Mystery Ink!

 

I just checked out my DNF's I have never done that before we have 57 of them! 13 of those are now archived.....so it looks like we will never avenge those!

[+Mystery Ink]

I like to post my dnf's as they let the owner know someone is trying, or that there may be an issue, and the stories, can't beat them..

 

I may not post every time I go back, like everyone else posted "quick find" and I am on try number 23, but then will do a wrap up in my log.

[+wyohunter]

Thanks Mystery Ink. I hope my post last night counted. Even if not, it was nice of you to offer these! I did check and I have 7 DNF and only placed 8.

Exactly.. Recently I went to find a cache that hasn't been logged in 6 months.. It wasn't there.. No one ever logged a DNF and the owner didn't know it was gone..

[+GPX Navigators]

Saw this last night but did not post because we have only been caching a year and knew our DNF count could not compete with others. We have 16 posted DNFs and we had a couple locals this weekend that are toughies and require further searching. We always post a DNF when we are in an area we are not going back to. Some have turned out to have been muggled and they are eventually archived but a few are still there and are beckoning us back. Locally, we will look once and if we cannot find it a 2nd time we give props to the owner and post our DNF hopefully indicating that we have looked and looked. My favorite of our DNFs required us to walk over water (not on a bridge) and search a small island. This was this log:

 

"Wow! Totally cool. Did things today never thought we would do. Can't believe where we put our hands. Oh and watch out for cacti. Loved the place. So do fisher muggles as they showed up on our way back. The hunt was tough. We DNF, but strangely, we are ok with that."

 

Our very first - 2 actually - geocache searches were DNFs. They were nanos and we had zero idea of what we were looking for. Not knowing how hard nanos are to find, we really thought we were a lost cause and we would have to retire the GPS to the draw and give it up. Luckily our daughter found the next cache we sought so we knew we were not totally hopeless. Eventually we made it back and found the nanos and have even hidden a couple of our own. Gotta give back to the community and all, right?

 

DNF logs are fun. When you score a find where an experienced cacher has posted a DNF you feel better about all your other DNFs. And if you still DNF that one - at least you know you are in good company.

 

We celebrated our one year geocacching anniversary yesterday with a Santa multi-cache around the house. Doesn't get any better than that. Kids thought it was amazing. Happy Holidays all.

[+cainrcc]

I have a total of 89 DNFs 44 FTFs and 49 placed caches soon to be 50 heading out to place a new one today ! HAPPY HOLLIDAYS EVERYONE ! !
