When to log a multicache?

[+Growf]

Hope the title says it all, but... I found the first stage of a multicache, which contained a logbook. Front of logbook has the coordinates for the next stage. I signed the logbook, but do I log as found now? Or not until I've found the final stage?

Do not log a find until you complete all stages of the multicache.

Knight2000 - Thanks for the reply.

 

Guess I will have to wait for another day to complete this one -- when I returned to my car after finding the first stage, it (my car) was dead from alternator death

Anytime. You can always log a note if you like. I often find caches but log them with notes instead of found it logs.

 

Ah!!! Alternator death!!!!

Knight2000 has the right answer. These multi-caches can seem like several 'mini' caches but really it's just several containers that lead you to the final cache location.

I, to, recently found a multi with signable logs in each leg. What's up with that?

Maybe it's excess paper. I would hate to think it's an ALR.

We once found the first stage of a Multi that was a quart sized lock & lock, it had the coords wrote on the outside. We didn't realize it was a Multi & thought the log & swag had been muggled, so like good little Geocachers, we added a log book & some swag. When we got online to log it, we realized it was the first stage we had found........we posted a DNF & asked the next finders to remove the log.....which they did.

There's nothing wrong with that. I like it.

If the Multi is a bonus cache, each stage of the 'Multi' may be a cache in it's own right.

 

However, I think more recently, they have to be marked as ? (Puzzle/unknown)

 

In the UK you hunt the Traditional Cache (counts as 1 Found) which contains part co-ordinates for the Bonus Cache.

Find all the Traditionals, get all the numbers, go for the Bonus Cache.

 

ie Find the first cache, get the North Co-ords.

Find the second cache for the West co-ords.

Then find the Bonus Cache.

Some multi owners won't count your find if you took a shortcut to the final and didn't find all the parts. Having a logbook at each stage is a way to make sure found all the parts.
