ryanbhuvam Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) My first few caches were destroyed/really dumb but when I made a proper cache and then had to replace the log as it got full, I kept it as a little memento. Didn't feel that way about any caches after that though. Edited October 30, 2018 by Rock Chalk Removed unrelated web links Quote Link to comment
+coachstahly Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have one or two really nice logs (one is a red leather book) that I've kept but generally speaking, I'll verify signatures and then pitch them. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 For a while I would scan them and post to the cache page. I've gotten lazy and just toss them now. Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I still have the logs to the last set of caches I put out, because I threw all of the containers into a box that was then packed by our movers and shipped with our household goods. I would have recycled them by now, but that box is in the basement. So, I still have 'em. The only log we've held on to for posterity is our event log - I found a nice journal type book we weren't using, glued a TB to it, and have taken it to all our events to date. The thing that really makes it cool is the wax seal from one of our first events. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've seen "log cabins" that were made from rolled-up log sheets. 1 Quote Link to comment

+Great Scott! Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Found stacks of my old log books from archived hides. Scanned the sheets and added them to the geocache page gallery. Here's one:https://coord.info/GLQZ3J2A Edited November 7, 2018 by Great Scott! 1 Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I had 4 gallon sized ziplocs stuffed with old logbooks going back to my earliest caches in 2001. I didn't feel right about throwing them away. Especially the older ones, where people used to fill up the a half or full page with the story of their adventure. Some were interesting reads and logs brought back memories of some of the area's geocaching pioneers who either left the game or passed away. Alas, I made a move in August and I was combining two households with my new wife into a 1 BR condo. Lots of stuff had to go and the logbooks didn't make the cut. I kept 3 or 4 but the rest went in the trash. 1 Quote Link to comment

+Calcows Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 toss them, do not even bother checking other than curiosity reading. Quote Link to comment

Didn't feel that way about any caches after that though. I've never ended up with a full log book in a condition that I'd save. Most recently, the first half of one page of a big log book had signatures, then a finder "got blood on it". I threw it out. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The last micro we own is the only one we don't bother with. Some of our cache books have poems, lengthy logs about the day, and one heck-of-a-lotta art inside. With few bothering to leave anything noteworthy online much less in the cache book, I'm sure not going to pitch those... Quote Link to comment
