leswon Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Today I accidently stumbled across the last stage/cache of a multi cache. Is it OK to log it as a find or should I go back and find all the stages? Advice wanted!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 You found it, you signed the log, that's a find as far as I'm concerned. If the owner has an issue with it, he will let you know I'm sure. If it were me I'd probably go back and do the whole thing just to experience the cache the way the owner intended, but I really enjoy multis. Quote Link to comment

+4leafclover Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I say yes...because what are the chances, ya know? Or email the owner, and ask what what he/she thinks. My guess is that a large percentage of owners will tell you to claim it. YMMV. Quote Link to comment
+Vanillahip Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I have guessed the final location of a puzzle cache after not being able to solve the puzzle. I logged it without any guilt whatsoever. I say log it and let the owner decide if they want you to go back. (Unless of course you really want to go back but then you wouldn't be asking this question if you did, eh?) Quote Link to comment

However, if you were in this area, and it was this final you found, I would really suggest you go back and do the entire Multi. Take a few friends with you and have a few lifelines to call and you will have an incredible caching experience. Quote Link to comment

If it is that easy to do you may want to email the owner. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Found cache. Signed log. Simple as that. Doesn't matter if it weren't the cache I was looking for! (Oh, those were letterboxes...) Found an evil mystery multi. (Never did find the first stage!) The cache owner had no problem with it. I wouldn't have any problem if you missed the steps to my multis, as long as you signed the log. Go for it! Quote Link to comment

leswon Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 How did you stumble across the final stage? I was in the library with my sister looking for a movie, I walked over to the computer where she was and she whispered "those two guys there are geocachers" They then pulled a book off the shelf with a large geocaching sticker on it. I thought "oh cool a geocaching book that isn't the Idiot's Guide to Geocaching, I'll have too take a look at that" So after they left I went over there and didn't find the book. So I went back to the computers and noticed they had been using the one next to my sister, they also had left their search up, so I went and found that book. My sister was saying "come on hurry up we need to get a movie and go" So I took the book to the movie section and opened it there. I then realized this was a cache!!! And a logbook!!! So I really wasn't sure whether I should log but it sounds like I could and I think I will because the farthest I've gotten on a multi so far is frustrated hours of looking for the first stage twice.

leswon Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am as serious as I possibly can be. This really happened just yesterday, and next time I go back I will log my incredible find. Quote Link to comment
+4leafclover Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 There are numerous caches out there that actually lead you to a book in a library. Sometimes that book is simply another clue to find the final cache. Other times that book itself IS the cache, as it sounds like in this case. Quote Link to comment
