+Kouros Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I'm sure someone will Markwell me, but I figure it would be nice to read more recent comments about odd messages in logbooks they have found. Mine's not really all that unusual, I guess, but it did strike as a little, um, unorthodox. The cacher prior to me wrote that the cache was damp - fair enough, you might say, until you get to what they traded. "Some of the contents are a little damp and we decided not to take anything. Left a chocolate drink sachet." Nowt as queer as folk, I guess. What's your favourite odd log? ------ An it harm none, do what ye will Quote Link to comment

Dinoprophet Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 "Took nothing, left Anthrax" That was mine, at a CD swap cache. I was later informed by the cache owner that the feds were called in to investigate. No kidding. I once found a cache with a log entry for an accidental find. The guy said he'd been sitting and praying for a while on the log where it was hidden, and when he was done, he spotted the cache sitting there. That must have been an interesting experience.

+The Leprechauns Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 From juvenile delinquents, who plundered the same cache four times (I've paraphrased and cleaned up the language): We got your cache again and stole EVERYTHING, suckers. Left a dollar and a long distance phone card. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x I was formerly employed by the Department of Redundancy Department, but I don't work there anymore.

+Cachier Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I was transcribing a wet log book when I saw this entry. "12/14/01 My huband found this cache during hunting season. He brought it home with him, before reading it. I read it and told him he had to return it. Nothing taken." (Following lined out by writer: "Put in a candy or to in case someone gets thirsty.") "Good luck to all of you, and have lots of fun. I did enjoy reading this log. We have no .com Jo & Dick P.S. Put in a pencil took out the candy. My husband said it wasn't a good idea. Nice thought though." The cache was returned 6 miles into the woods where it was inadvertantly taken. "When you find it, its always in the last place you look." Quote Link to comment
+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 At Mix'ed Up Cache, the log entry just prior to ours..."Found by accident, thought it was drugs." No signature. We couldn't tell if they were concerned or disappointed about the drugs.

+briansnat Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I had one that said something like "cache was packed so full I had a really hard time fitting everything back inside. Took nothing, left a geocoin" If it's that full, why not take something? And for heaven's sake don't add to it!

+Sir Cache-A-Lot Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Here is one from a cache I have... The Cache had a problem you need to be aware. It took me Quite a while to get it open. The cache is totally full and someone packed pencils in there in a straight up position. When I tried to unscrew the lid the pencils caught in the recess of the lid preventing it from opening. I had to bang around on it and finally just forced it open. Not too bad, but when they finished up they put the pencils back in... why didn't you take them if it was such a problem? Some things are lost, some left behind. Some things are better left for someone else to find. Quote Link to comment

Rockratgirl Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 We found a note in a logbook in this cache which said something along the lines of "Found this by accident as we usually stash drugs here, we won't be using this place again". We've also seen a sig line of "took logbook, left nothing".

SunCrushNJ Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 We had a cache called Craft's Crazy that was hidden out in the park in our backyard. It was in a bush area and was hidden real well. It went missing for almost like 10 months, I had it archived once we realised it was gone. Just about a month and a hlaf ago Trauma and his son found it alittle ways away from where it was.. recovered the logbook to realise that when they cleaned the old Rail road trail the people making it a trail to walk on had found it and signed it.. "Found your cache.. might need to replace it in another area as they is to be work done here." then they signed it. Very cool.. and glad we finally got our cache back. Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Strangest log (in the actual logbook) I've seen is by a couple who found my Cottage Wetlands Cache, "Cool place. The sex was great!" Quote Link to comment
+evergreenhiker! Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. Back earlier this year my original Wallace Cache was returned!!! Tricky Pickups noticed it and realized hey this wasn't the current cache they were looking for and emailed me. I went to the cache site and found it a few feet away from the original location and here's the log made by the person who moved it: Found it, Took a doll, left a magnet, changed location. Find before April 1,2003 or I'll put it back. signed The Phantom Wierd!!!! April Fool's Joke I guess. Tricky Pickups foudn it April 20, 2003. The original location had been destroyed so thus cache being placed back a few feet away. I was really glad to get the logbook back as this was my very first cache planted. The original cache container is now at my Chism Cache in south Bellevue. Quote Link to comment
