+The Caching Coulters Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 We were caching in Crow Creek Park in Bettendorf, IA today. While searching for the multi there we came across a cache that is not listed on geocaching.com, navicache.com or terracache.com. It had an "official geocache" sticker on the outside and had been found twice before us today. Once last fall and once this spring. The logbook said it's name was Lake Springfield. Is is a regular size and had really good swag in it. No TB though. Quote Link to comment
+tomfuller & Quill Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 If the cache you found was within 528 feet of one of the stages of the multi, it is likely someone hid it and then was denied by the reviewer when they submitted it. Chances are they did not return to pick it up. Geocaching sticker but no stash note? All my caches have a stashnote with my name and address. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Could very well be the last stage of a multi. Quote Link to comment
+The Caching Coulters Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 I was back in the area so I got the other two names in the log. Only one was registered here and this is his response to my email. "I did find it but never followed up. I noticed that it was not listed on the site. I have not logged many of my finds and lately have not had much time to do any searching. I know I'm not much help but that is all I know." So maybe someday this mystery will be solved but for now.... To those that say it may be the final of a multi. How far apart can the 1st stage and the final be? Around here they seem to be close, ie in the same park. Not miles apart. In my GSAK database I have all caches within 40 miles. There is no cache by that name within 25 miles of the park where I found it. Quote Link to comment

Of course how many people are going to want to drive miles and miles to finish the cache? Perhaps is a cache that was placed but not listed / or denied listing. Quote Link to comment
