+yrium Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Here is a link to a mildly amusing cache log for a cache I hunted recently. Should I have logged it as a found? My quest took place on March 2nd --- yrium --- Quote Link to comment
+Hawk-eye Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I'm sorry but I couldn't understand half of the posted log ... Your profile doesn't specify where you live ... but I assume it's on the left coast. GOOD Quote Link to comment

Robereno Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Man! You make it hard for me to do a quick read of the forums when I’m at work. I downloaded the log for the Continental Cache and will read it at lunch. Is 30 minutes enough? CreekBed Geocache Quote Link to comment

+Web-ling Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 So, if I understand correctly, you saw the cache, but were unable to actually pick up the cache and sign the log, because there was someone in the area who would have seen. I would have logged a "Not Found," but thats my opinion. You were not able to actually get to the cache. Go back, sign the log, then post a "Found." Quote Link to comment
+Geo Leo Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I got tired of reading the log. Let me know when the movie version is out. Quote Link to comment

+Silver Horde Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Been waiting for another chapter in your life's book. You've been a bit quiet lately, Life been getting in the way of caching? Thanks for the read. Pereginus Quote Link to comment
Robereno Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Definitely sounds like a good find to me. From the photo it looks like you got pretty darn close to leatherface. At that point, I suppose I would have said the heck with it and gone for the cache. Another good read yrium. My co worker wonders what I’m chuckling about. “Just one of those funny spreadsheets”.

+gnbrotz Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I personally would not claim this as a "find" since you did not sign the log book. This is my personal definition of counting a find. On the other hand, I would not list it as a "not found" as you obviouly know exactly where the cache is. Given the same circumstances, I would list my experience as a note only, and then return when possible to claim my find. Just my .02 Greg N 39°54.705' W 77°33.137' Quote Link to comment

+Jamie Z Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 No find, in my mind. Good story, but no find. I find it amusing that after reading yrium's two-pager, here is the next log: "Took nothing and left nothing. Interesting location!" Doh! Jamie Quote Link to comment
+yrium Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 I went ahead and changed the log to a 'not found'. It has to be either a found or a not found, I reserve notes for additional information - not to avoid a purple frownie face, and I think the best criteria given is if the logbook actually gets signed - because that is not subject to interpetation. Thanks for the many responses. Especially the "Good, your on the left coast". A little coastal rivalry I guess is a good thing. As far as not understanding the post I think I've developed a lot of themes in my logs that build over time, one of which is the nicknames for my fellow geocachers. Here is a scorecard ... Whistlestick - is my beautiful wife Gromit - is my dog Superfly - is my 12 year old newphew Fruitcups - is my wife's sister Vagabond - a serious cacher that I once imagined having a ponytail sensei - chinese/japanese for teacher pebble grasping - recurring them of old KUNG FU tv show where the student kept trying to grab the pebble from his master to show that he was learning. Leatherface - my slang for a chainsaw user. Quote Link to comment
