+Rebel Rays Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 How does log a dog tag work? What is dipping? Do other geocachers log my dog if we meet? Do I log my dogs traceable at the cache we find? I can’t find any real clear instructions on how it works. I also have sen the expression “dipping”and have no idea what that means.

When you find a cache, you can place the dog into it and make a “Drop” log. In most cases, you won't leave the dog inside, so next you make a “Retrieve” log. That is known as “dipping”, where the trackable item is at the cache site for no more than a moment, it's not left in the cache. To make it simpler to Drop/Retrieve, you can do both actions at once with a “Visit” log: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=30&pgid=151 Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Many questions answered in the Help Center. "Dipping" is an older term, used to refer to Dropping a trackable, then Retrieving it from a cache. Often many in a day. Today, it's simply the "Visit" log (took it to...) , created I suppose to make that trackable movement easier... Edited October 9, 2018 by cerberus1 Quote Link to comment
