+knowltonGeo Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I cannot log my find: GC2RNK WARNING - spoilers below for any UTAH cachers... Says it is unpublished. But this cache was in my list of caches to find and I found it. This cache was muggled pretty badly. But even if the condition was reported, I should still be able to log my find, right? Is a moderator or someone able to tell me what is going on with this cache? When I opened the cache, the contents were soaking wet. The container had this thick chain around it so I could barely get it out of it's hiding spot and wrangle the thing open. I tore off a piece of dry paper and signed and dated this as a "new" log, then put everything back inside. I'd be surprised if my log entry survived the next rainstorm, though. Also inside the cache were coordinates to guide us to another location. We were able to find this second location, under a bridge, but the cache appeared to be muggled as well. Again we found the cache attached to a thick chain. But all that had survived was the lid. The container itself and the contents (if any) were no where to be found. It looked like there was a lot of thought put into this. I would like to see the original CO notified so the cache can receive the TLC and attention it desperately needs. Thanks! Tom Link to comment
+J the Goat Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Not really a getting started issue, but that is odd. Maybe the listing was retracted for some reason, it's a pretty old cache judging by the GC#. I'd be interesed to see what a reviewer has to say on the subject. Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Here's your problem: It isn't published.... therefore (as far as geocaching.com is concerned), it does not exist.... because it does not exist, there is no cache page (for you or I) to access.... no cache page from which one can submit a log = no log.... as it is not published/recorded by geocaching.com, how can they supply you with a smiley? -------------------- Wondering how this cache would be "...in my list of caches to find..."? You can have the owner notified, but you need to do that through a reviewer. Make sure that you supply the GC#. Reviewers have access to these things, we do not. As to whether or not you deserve a smiley, I dunno. Looks (to me) like you did a lot of searching for naught. I will however, give you an "attaboy" for your effort. Link to comment
+knowltonGeo Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 How do I find the reviewer? Link to comment
+Dr.MD Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 That's not a valid GC Code, archived or not. When the codes started with GC2 and were only 6 digits, there weren't any letters past F. You're probably missing a number or letter in the code. Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Your local reviewer with be the person that published all or most of your caches. The very first log -- the publish log. Link to comment

I am really super sorry for wasting everyone's time. I wrote it down wrong in my notebook. I thought I had deleted it off my GPS device so I hadn't bothered looking. Turns out it was still there...and then I realized what I had done...I had missed a 2 in the sequence. Thank you! Tom Link to comment
