+Bamilbis Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think I have a normal trait in that when I find a cache, particularly a well concealed one, I want to share. But, at that moment I'm in the woods alone and my next action is to log the find before heading out to the next. I find myself wanting to type in the "found it" message things like, "man, I never would have looked in that piece of fence, it blended right in! I could have sworn it was in the tree! Awesome camo". But of course you can't put that stuff as it spoils it for the next cachers. Has anyone thought to have a separate owner only section where you can write just to the CO? That would help satisfy a primal human need to share. What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment
+BigChiefS4 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you want to contact the CO, just email him from his profile page. Another trick is to write a Note on the cache and then immediately delete it from the cache page. The CO will get the email with your message, but it won't be there for everyone else to see. However, if anyone is watching that cache, they will get the message, too. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 There are ways of doing this with a cleverly worded log. The owner will know what you are talking about, and it will increase the mystique of the cache as well (much to the owner's pleasure). Of course, the art of the cleverly worded log is slowly becoming a thing of the past...but I still have hope! Quote Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 am sure there are many, but it takes a special cache to do on sometimes. I did this one 4 stage multi where at least half the finders (I think) have carried on the inside joke in their logs. Quote Link to comment

No need to keep the note that says bug visit on the page. Quote Link to comment

+firestronaut Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I thought that was what the "encrypt log" button was for :unsure: Quote Link to comment
+BigChiefS4 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 All that does is a ROT13 on the log entry. Anyone can read it after decoding it. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 But any viewer can une.crypt it Quote Link to comment
+firestronaut Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) But the OP was worried about spoilers, he said he would write in the logs if he could... Edited May 10, 2012 by firestronaut Quote Link to comment
