+TexasGringo Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I had archive some caches back in 2006 when I moved back to Dallas. Yesterday, I received email notifications that people found 2 of those archived caches and the the log date was 10/2006. Here is one. ------------------------------ Location: Wisconsin, United States GeocacherXXX found Lily-1 (Archived) (Traditional Cache) at 10/5/2006 Log Date: 10/5/2006 Found with GeocacherXXX. ------------------------------ Slow Logging? Or could they not log it until now? I got this message just trying to post this Forum Message.....

+KoosKoos Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Just a guess, but that log sounds like someone going back and logging old finds...perhaps a child who found it with their parent and now has their own account? Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Found with GeocacherXXX. That sounds like a typical back-dated log, when someone (a kid) gets their own account. They can't remember the details of the hunt, so they post just enough information to make the log legit. I think it's great that someone now has their own account and is logging all these finds.

+TexasGringo Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Looking at the logs now....I see that they originally posted under one name and then changed names. Now, they are moving all their logs to the new name. Maybe they should have requested a Name Change and had it done automatically. For a while there, I thought it might have been old earth signals, bouncing off Asteroids and returning from outer space..... Link to comment

Maybe they should have requested a Name Change and had it done automatically. For a while that's what you had to do to change names. I've found that many people don't know that the situation has changed and you can now request a name change. If the cacher in question has many more to go, a courtesy note to let them know of the new procedure might be welcomed. Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) I thought maybe this was going to be one of my logs. I just went and logged about a dozen caches I found in 2005 or 2006. I've got about another dozen to log from the same era, I just have to figure out which ones they are. Then again, I always note in my logs that I'm logging them a few years late.

+Mach 5 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Funny, I just had that happen with three of my archived caches. Link to comment
