Log a "visit" on the TB page when I DNF the cache?

[+HebnDex]

Hi,

i tried searching for an answer but couldn't find any.

Yesterday I stopped by a cache but did not find the actual cache, what is the etiquette around this where TBs are concerned? Can I still log the "visit" on the TB page to show that the TB was in this location regardless of my inability to find the cache?

Thanks in advance

Hi Heather.

I think that's just fine, though not commonly done.  All you can really say is, you think you visited the TB, since of course there's no way of knowing for sure.  I can't imagine anyone complaining about an informative log.

If a TB has been in a cache for a while, the owner might be keeping a watch on the cache anyway.

If you didn't find the cache, how could the TB have visited it?

So far, I’ve visited a TB to a cache I didn’t find once, but for a specific reason: when I take a picture with the TB, I always attach it to a visited (or other) log of the cache I was looking for at the time, so that the trackable owner knows (roughly) were the picture was taken. If I then happen to DNF the cache, I still want the picture to be associated with that cache, so I still log a visit. But apart from that, I agree with nextlogicalstep.

It's not really going to matter to the cache owner.  So it probably depends on the TB owner.

I only visit one of my own TBs to every cache we find.  I normally don't visit any TBs to a cache I haven't found.

Too late to ask now (you logged it "visited"), but similar to nextlogicalstep,  I just don't see how you were able to visit the cache  without finding it.

With a visit log , you take a trackable to a cache but keep it with you when you leave. 

You visit the cache, not simply the surrounding area...
