+eigengott Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 people are posting all kinds of BS Why? If they wouldn't post there unless they found it, the listing probably would never have been locked in the first place.

Logging of All Physical Caches Geocaches can be logged online as Found once the physical log has been signed. So the puritan point of view is no signature in the physical logbook, no find, no online log. No signature in the physical logbook means press you can press the delete key. But a sticker would make it harder for the puritan to argue the point. Quote Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Anyone that has actually read the cache page would not be debating the merits of signing the physical log book. NO LOG BOOK.

I just read the find log. He claims to have been there in front of the cache when the pic was taken. So as long as he is not lieing, it is a find. If I was the CO, I would make the cacher privide proof of being on the ISS. If you were on board, it should not be difficult to prove. Edit: Didn't notice the Training Module statment. So no, it is not a find. It is a very cool note to put on the cache page though. Edit again: How is it that people are Discovering the travel bug up there? Who was the genious who leaked a pic of the tracking numer? Why hasn't the bug owner deleted the boggus Discover logs? Edit again: Why doesn't this TJ Creamer guy just log a ligit found log?

The problem is that the guideline you quote doesn't mean what you think it does. First of all you have to know that this guideline did not exist until April 3, 2009. It was added because additional logging requirements were no longer allowed after that date. The existing ALR cache were not grandfathered. Instead cache owners were told to cease deleting Found logs based on additional logging requirements. At the same time, cache finders were told that they could log their find on line once the physical log was signed; meaning that they did not have to do any additional requirements that a cache owner may have stated on the cache page before logging their find. The guidelines were written as they were to allow cache owners to delete Find logs if the the physical log was not signed. They do not require that cache owners delete logs. They do not forbid caches from entering a Found log unless the physical log is signed. If a cache owner wants to allow Found logs using some alternative to having to sign the physical log they are permitted. TPTB have, however, taken a stand against what they call couch potato logging. This is a practice of logging virtual caches because you can find the answer to the verification question online or you can photoshop a picture of yourself at the location. While I personally think it was silly and unnecessary for Groundseak to take a stand against couch potato logs, it would seem that this log on the ISS cache is a couch potato log. If they are going to consistent, the cache owner would have to delete this log or the cache should be archived. There are many virtual caches that I could've found (including one that I have legitimately found) that I cannot log because the Groundspeak policy on couch potato logging has resulted in the caches being archived and locked.

Could it be that Groundspeak opened it up for the sole reason of allowing this guy to log it (Or possibly just attach his picture to the cache?) If so then that would make sense of why it was unlocked. 3. My note, along with most others was deleted by a lackey. One of the only ones left is the "found it" log... further proving my point. 4. After it was locked a second time, they unlocked it AGAIN for him to change is log from a note to a find. (As his log was deleted when mine was.)

Where did Dave Ulmert say anything about logging a find online? Caches have log books. When you find the cache you should record that in the log book. Most people don't put in the time, what you got, and what you put in. In fact most don't put their name anymore and instead use their gocaching.com account name. Sometimes people just write their initials. So you're treading on thin ice using instructions that Dave Ulmert wrote for the first geocache as some kind of rule for when to log a find online. Logging a find online has little to tie it to "rules" about signing logs. Nowhere does it indicate that signing the log = the find. You write in the physical log to record your visit so others can see you were there. In a way, signing the log also serves as proof that you found the cache - but it isn't really finding the cache, just something you do after you find the cache like trading stuff. The online log is a way to share your experience with others. If you found the cache you use a Found It log. If you searched and didn't find they cache, you use a DNF log. If you didn't sign the log when you found the cache, it doesn't mean you didn't find it. It does mean that the primary form of proof that you actually were at the cache is missing. If a cache owner is unwilling to accept other proof (or take your word that you found the cache) then they can delete your Found It log. Simple. Now what does all this have to do with the log on the ISS cache? I agree, it doesn't seem to me that OHL Hockey Guy found the cache. It looks to me like a couch potato log, and Groundspeak has archived virtual caches whose owners allow couch potato logs. But aside from the unwritten rule against couch potato logging, if a cache owner wants to allow a Found log on his cache where the the cache was not found (regardless of whether or not there was a log to sign), then it's up to the cache owner to decide this.

Point 2) agreed, what is up with that earring. It's not an earring, it's a hole in the paper, looks like from one of those 3-hole punches. Unless you're referring to the thing attached to the travel bug, in which case I can't tell what that is from this picture. As for sending a travel bug to the ISS, the only issue I would have is getting proper and accurate mileage reported. Sure, it's listed as 6512.7 miles away, but I'd expect to see that TB end up with over a million miles on it by the time it gets to the next cache.

Dj Storm Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 An interesting idea: 1. Visit the ISS; 2. Place a cache in the Training Module on the ground, in Baikonur (with permission); 3. Publish the cache, giving its actual coordinates, but claiming it's on the ISS. List it as a mystery if necessary. Sure, the mystery around the cache will fall apart soon after the FTF is claimed and word about the trick gets out, but until then it will be a "magnet" for geocachers all over the world.

MrsB Well I'm jealous, but not in the green monster way. I'm ultra happy an everyday geocacher got that much accomplished and it's kinda cool that I knew about for quite awhile even if I didn't believe it. Quote Link to comment
+Too Tall John Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 My note, along with most others was deleted by a lackey.To say what I think about those who filled my inbox up with a bunch of bogus logs would break the forum guidelines, so I'll just quote Klondike Mike:Like watching paint dry, except some clowns keep coming by and running their finger through it.Next time, keep it to yourself, thank you.

Andronicus Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Regardless of some of the fine print stuff about what is and isn't a log and what is and isn't a legal cache, you have to admit that - - Visiting the service module trainer and taking a photo of yourself in front of Locker 218, - and then getting someone who is GOING INTO OUTER FLIPPING SPACE GOOD GOD to bring it INTO OUTER FLIPPING SPACE I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PART and "sign in" to the logbook-less cache by putting that picture in the parallel Locker 218, - and taking a photo of the whole thing to boot ...is incredibly resourceful. It may be resourceful, but the find was not OHL Hockey Guy, it was the "someone who is GOING INTO OUTER FLIPPING SPACE" who made the find. Why doesn't he log the find? The OHL Hockey guy stunt makes a realy great "Note" on the cache page, but not a find. Quote Link to comment

I'm still more offended though that an adult recreational beer hockey league in Texas (of all places), is using the name of the greatest Junior Hockey League in the world. Quote Link to comment
