+K13 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 If it is available for the cache owner only, I'm with you on this. It would be a storage nightmare if everyone could do it on every cache listing. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes - Sorry this is for the C.O only ...... some where to save , all your notes re - your cache , could be a photo of the cache container , so you can forward it after receiving a DNF ( so you can show none finders what they were looking for ) photos of items which you've used to build a multi , plaques on seats , grave stones ( for when cacher's say I made the number for (A) = 3 but in fact it needs to be (A) + 7 ? see photo ) Quote Link to comment
+VAVAPAM Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I completely understand the reasoning for wanting that as a CO. Frankly, I wouldn't use it ... mainly because when I start building a cache I create a folder on my computer with the cache name, and all my notes, photos, etc. go in there. I prefer to keep it local, rather than having to access the internet, thus the cache page, in order to work on it. When it's ready, or I need to do tweaking, it's quite easy for me to cut and paste. On the other hand, I do most of my GC.com access from a desktop, so don't know if your idea gives added benefit for working strictly from a phone, for example. If you don't have a PC, I wonder if creating a Dropbox [or whatever cloud storage] folder similarly would fulfill that need you describe?

Keep the links in the notes on your cache then forward the link to a geocacher if you wanted. I've been sent dropbox links from COs before after a dnf and it worked well for me. Quote Link to comment
