+Airhead-kb Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I stopped by yesterday at a puzzle cache. I did not have the right answers, but went home and worked on it some more. Today, I am sure I can find it (unfortunately not FTF). So, as the title says, would you log a DNF or would you say you have not given up and say you are just taking a long time to find?

Clan Riffster Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 For me, each log is a little slice of our geo-history. I would've logged a DNF, explaining my screw up. Quote Link to comment
+Totem Clan Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 There would be nothing wrong with a DNF, because after all you "Did Not Find". You could include that you had the wrongs coords. DNF's are a interesting part of the game. Sometimes they are as fun or more fun than the finds. Reading them can be fun too. If it was interesting story, definitely log it. Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Probably DNF, since part of finding a puzzle cache is solving the puzzle. I don't think you'd get beat up for just a note in this case, though. Quote Link to comment
+CSpenceFLY Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I usually don't log a DNF unless I looked for a long time or I won't be able to get back for a while. If I had to leave because of muggles or I ran out of time I may leave a note or may just include it when I find. Quote Link to comment
+Juicepig Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ok, so here is my related question: This years log entry to this cache was a DNF, even though they admit not getting within 75km of the cache. The cache is 4.5lb Walleye - posted in june 2001 and still not attempted. Should they still post a DNF? Quote Link to comment

They weren't even looking so that's a different issue than the OP's. So nobody has really hunted that one? Dam, I wish it wasn't so far over east. Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The cache is 4.5lb Walleye Off topic question: Did the owner of that cache change their user name? Using a different account? The profile says that during their 5 years here, they had 0 finds and only this one hide. Just wondering. Quote Link to comment

Its one of the oldest caches in the province - They likely placed the cache before there were any other caches in the area. My guess is that they lost interest before anyone got around to placing another cache! I talked to Connie&Keith - and they did manage to get ahold of the owner. He said the cache was there, but was placed plastic storage bin that likely wouldn't have survived the elements all these years. Still.. I know alot of people with dreams to go try and find this one (and probably replace it with a proper industrial strength time capsule) Take a look at how many caches are in the area though - arent that many Quote Link to comment
+Jhwk Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Did you look? --> Yes Did you find? --> No --> DNF at least for me. Quote Link to comment
