Found It = Didn't Find It

Recommended Posts

Speaking of the high logging group in Missouri, anyone talked to them about it?

They're only after the numbers. They don't care.

Same with another high number guy from Peoria, IL area.

It's all about getting the high number. If someone doesn't check their actual stats and just sees their numbers then no one knows they're padding the find count.

well we drove up from Arizona and made a special detour to attend this exhibit! when we got there we were told it cost 15 dollars per person to enter the wildlife sanctuary, inside of which is the exhibit! we were thoroughly disappointed because we just couldn't pay 30 dollars to go into this place the cache page mentions nothing of this fee to get in, so to those who are planning to go be prepared to hand over a leg and arm to get in we are logging an attended on this due to the effort put into getting to this event, as we are from Oregon and were driving up from visiting in Arizona. we would have loved to have gone in!

Came across these logs as we were passing thru Kansas.

Guess Phoney Finder 2 & 3 forgot that cheating in the "old college try" will get them expelled from college.

Phoney Finder 1 is pretty safe knowing the CO wouldn't "disagree" with their "find". The CO hasn't even logged onto Geocaching.com in over a year.

We were with Phoney Finder 1 and completely agree with his comments. We did give it the old college try to locate it.

Note to owner and following cachers at this site: We stopped at this one with skepticism, knowing it hadn't been found for the past 1/2 year and a previous DNF and realizing its difficulty was a 1 1/2. With Phoney Finders 2 & 3, we thoroughly scoured the area, finding the "obvious" neat place where the container should be. We assumed it was muggled; therefore, we're logging it as a find to justify our time spent here. If the CO disagrees with this, please edit accordingly. Our apologies for not having a container to place here to help the situation. A virtual SL on this quiet little area.

here's an example of what you SHOULD do, logged by a friend of mine:

 

Actually - I found this one a while back when I was on a ride with the wife...Since I use the Dakota for cadence and tracks on bike rides, I noticed the cache as we rode past on the way to Rt.22.

On the way back I stopped to look for it and found it...Though - as I hadn't planned on cachin' - I did not have my trusty pen. I had planned on emailing Red with the particulars of the hide and in what color a certain log was written. However - I don't think it proper to claim a find when you don't sign the log (for whatever reason) so I had to wait until I finally had the extra couple minutes to find a couple of local caches...And go back for it...

Thanks for the Smiley

A longish tale here, close reading may be required _ edited to remove username references - logs stacked in reverse of the order on a cache page:

I am not going to log a DNF because I really didn't look for it. I set off to try this cache in my kayak but the water was way to low. I really didn't feel safe because all the gators were everywhere. I even saw one bigger then my kayak and that's when I turned around and got out of the water. You really need an airboat to do this cache

 

icon_sad.gif January 5, 2008 Honest Air Boating Cacher

 

Cacher and I took my air boat out to the location listed on a small island out in the lake and both of us hunted for about 45 minutes in the maiden cane and dead trees with out any luck. I need a hint to find this one. It may have been muggled as boaters can come up on the island and camp,eat lunch or pit stop and may have found it!!

Yes Paddle_Cacher said it good. A lot of BIG gators in the creek sunning themselves today.

 

icon_smile.gifJuly 5 by ThrowDown Carrier

 

There had been a few attempts to find the cache in the past but large alligators in shallow water will deter most cachers. I'd been interested in the cache since first noticing it on a trip to Lake Placid in 2008. But having no airboat meant finding the cache would require the unthinkable task of canoeing or kayaking out to it. Or swimming I suppose but that's plain stupid. Paddle_Cachers initial attempt was in 2008 when Lake O was setting record lows and alligators had no where to go but in the path of a boat. This time some would go by canoe while some use sit on top kayaks (thanks again for that). We ascended from all points in the state to the boat launch to the North of the cache and set off from there. Radar showed most of the rain moving north with the potential for rain later in the day. I knew it was at least 5 miles from launch to cache site and back - turned out to be about 7. We cut across the shallow cattails and made a beeline for the cache with the wind in our face and a mild chop. No gators in sight. Once out of the cattails we headed across a mile of open water and small white caps to the island at GZ, ringed with more cattails and giant yellow lilies of some sort. We got within 120 feet and shoved our way through water Hyacinth. Still no gators. dadgum. Gotta get out.

 

At GZ the mosquitoes did buzz and the birds did squawk. Least bitterns, Common moorhens, anhingas, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Boat-tailed Grackles all took flight. We were on a rookery. Not a good place to be for the baby birds sake.

 

We didn't find the cache, but signed the log on the ammo can I was carrying. Then we decided not to leave the can. We decided this spot was too intrusive to the birds for a cache and it was removed.

 

Was it a beautiful spot and a nice place for a paddle? Absolutely. Remote unexplored areas are fun for the curious person, but no need to disturb the birds.

 

The paddle back, with the wind at our back was no less difficult. Arms sore, ankles and inner knees reddened by the sun, the storms rolled in just as we loaded up the boats to head home. A fun afternoon on the lake.

My #500!!!!

 

Caching along with friends today out on my quest to get my #500.

 

We embarked on this great journey with our minds set to paddle 2.57miles to the cache, with a storm closing in on us, but yet we still had a great sunny day. Well jumped in our vessels and off we go.

 

Had a great time chatting with all them on the way there making jokes about the gators, and talking about papaya harvesting along the way since we saw a lot of papaya plants

 

About 1.5 mile in the lake we came across this beautiful flower field in which we stopped for a few to enjoy the amazing sight and to take great shots as well, with only one mile to the Gz I was only worry about the storm, but it is all good when you are surrounded by crazy geocachers like myself LOL .

 

After a few more minutes, well a lot more we got closer to the GZ, and started searching for a closer way to the island, hmmm gator land hmmm we really had to think about walking here since we could not see the floor, so we all started poking the ground with our paddles to make sure we did not step on any unfriendly gator .

 

Finally we made it within 15ft of the GZ, WOW never seen so many wading birds in one place. So Cacher and I decided to get to the GZ and bush whack our way in when we got attacked but a mosquito cloud yes no joke. Made our way in just to find about 5 or more bird’s nests oh no way we need to get out of here so we don’t disturb them very bad place for a cache’s GZ . Well needless to say we got out there as fastest as we could covered with bird poop lol, but it was fun.

 

ThrowDown Carrier was kind enough to bring his ammo can for the photo and we made a symbolic log book to record our "find."

 

I made this find my #500 . As I always say what really matters is the journey to the cache sometimes even more than the container itself, and this time it was one of the best trips ever in company of great crazy friends. I would have never made this journey alone it would not had been this much fun.

 

THANK YOU GUYS!!! . Until next time hmmm wonder what’s next LOL .

Not that significant until you read the logs we made when we found the cache:

:D August 15 by Mistikal68 (736 found)

 

This cache required patience and determination...these are the kind of finds that give a person a real smile, not just the little computer generated ones. As Geojunkie mentioned we found a throw down cache first...but when comparing the logs on this cache to signatures we knew it was not the actual cache. I prevailed on this one and located the cache in a place we had both been peeking and poking around in a couple times. TFTC

 

:) August 15 by GeoJunkie (1188 found)

 

Out caching with Mistikal68 while waiting for El Bandito Poquito to finish at the vet. We searched for a while and found a throwdown cache that a previous "finder" had decided to put out instead of taking the effort to find the actual cache. We decided not to give up as easily as that cacher and eventually found the real cache. I took the throwdown cache so others won't make the mistake. I'm posting the photograph of the log so the owner can decide whether to allow the May 10th log to remain since that person never actually found the cache.

 

Not even admitting to the cheating. Wonder how many of those 9000+ "finds" are real...

THANK YOU GUYS!!! . Until next time hmmm wonder what’s next LOL .

 

Great story!

 

What's next? Simple. Find a highway. Create a power trail by submitting caches for every 528' feet. Then, walk--er, drive--along with your film can in hand, slowing down briefly every 528' and signing its log. Each pause you'll "decide not to leave the can." Log all of your "finds" on line (yes, on your own caches; we've seen it done, this just takes it up a level! Though you could always have a friend or a sock puppet account place the finds for added legitimacy). Back at home, archive all the caches so that you don't have to deal with all the pesky DNF's. (Or encourage other cachers that it's a BYOC trail.) Voila! Huge numbers without the expense of all those containers or the effort of trying to find so many caches!

This is a good one. A cacher hides a cache inside a porta-jon located in a park. Local community complains that it's a horrible place for a cache so after about a week, the owner archived it.

 

A week later another cacher comes along and can't find the now archived cache. What does he do? He signs the toilet maintenance log that is pasted inside the toilet, then logs a find online.

Cache definitely gone, debris everywhere, windows smashed out, I fear the cache may have had a watery end.

Visiting from Chicagoland and this is very close to where my friends live. As others have noted, half of this is missing and there is no log. But one half is right there. I took a picture in case the CO would like to see it. And yes, the sliding hill is still as reported. TFTC! #553

Too bad there isn't a "type of log" for found half of it! Like many others have reported, only half of the nano container is there. No log in sight. If it gets replaced I will swing by and sign the log.

This one needs a new container. There is only half of the container left. Luckily with the log, but unfortunately with rain the log will become mush.

Hmmm Quick find tonight it was out in the open. Only one problem. The container only had the lid. I could find no other part of the container. The log was dry however. I placed it back into its hiding place, but this one needs some TLC soon or the log will be mush. TFTC.

This phony find was in a cemetery. The cache is located in a bush near the grave marker of a family member of the cache owner.

:) August 20 by Phony Finder B (2 found)

Found spot and message NO geocache.

The phony finder then posts a picture of the grave marker surrounded by their 5 kids with the note

"Found spot where geo should be. "

Note to Phony Finder B:

Nope, Phony Finder B, you didn't find "spot where geo should be". You found a grave marker about 30 feet from where the cache is located. Others have found the actual since your phony find.

I had my hands on a cache today and could not get it open and I refused to leave before I got into that beast and signed the log which involved a half hour of me wrestling on the ground with it.

Well if that occasion happens again, besure to have somebody video the wrestling match. :D

I bordered on getting muddy. Mom regretted not pulling my camera out and taking pictures of the events as they unfolded. I'm glad to not have those pictures floating around. Nothing cute was going on and I emerged from the woods with plenty of stuff stuck to me.

Some high number Kansas cachers coming thru IL.

What do you do when you can't find a cache? You just "fix it". The problem is the ones they "fixed" were part of a series where on each cache they "fixed" was also a clue to a final cache. So they really didn't "fix" anything but just did some throw downs.

9 throwdowns in one day.

 

This one hasn't been found since March 13. 3 previous DNFs. They "fixed it".

:) September 6 by Kansas Throwdown Fixers (12926 found)

We fixed up this cache too, the only thing we can't fix is whatever code (cache owner) had on here originally. We may have a new geo-cacher in the area soon too! The guy at Walgreens wanted to know what we were doing with all of "these" so we explained geocaching. He thought it was really cool!

 

This one was last found on May 19. Logged 3 previous DNFs. Now it's "fixed".

:) September 6 by Kansas Throwdown Fixer (12926 found)

We knew two of these were missing so after caching all day we finally found a Walgreen's and stocked up! Decided to head back this way and fix them up! Just hate to see a series broken up!

We were very puzzed when we discovered that the cache had disappeared, so our solution to the puzzle? We replaced it with a new cache to others can continue on with the series.

I am replacing the cache with a new one in a tiny brown and white duffel bag-Mon. Sept 13th. Therefore, I should get credit for finding it, since I am the one who put it there in the first place!

This cache was a D1/T5. It took some real figuring to get it and then return it to its hiding place. Instead of posting a "needs maintenance" or "archive" they replace it then claim a find.

Had been out with (another cacher) and noticed this one was missing. This was such a cool cache I hated to let it stay unavailable. I had an extra cache container so I got up this morning, camoed it, grabbed the proper geotools and headed out there. I put the cache in the exact location where (another cacher) found it. Hopefully it won't get muggled this time. Enjoyed this spot and the interesting challenge. TFTC.

Sometimes its just ignorance of the "mores" of this sport. A new geocacher logged a find on the first stage of a 4 stage multi near me. I sent him a gently worded e-mail informing him it was considered to be bad form and he thanked me and changed it to a note.

 

:P I'm a newbe and just made that same mistake....I didn't read that in the directions...guess I better change mine to a note too.....Thanks for the info.... :D

I thought the whole point was to actually find the cache and log the log book and see the other stuff in the container. I have been out to one cache about 5 times now, probably have spent about 2 hours looking for it. Others have found it, so do I get to log it as found by default? I DON'T THINK SO! If I don't find the cache, I don't log it.

I picked up a TB in Quebec and, when I checked the TB Map a few days later, someone had discovered it, on a day when the TB was in my geocaching fanny pack. Upon further investigation, this cacher has "discovered" 37 TBs in the last 14 days, some hundreds of miles apart on the same day. I suppose it could be done, but I know for a fact that I did not show this TB to a 4 figure cacher. Perhaps they are a "four flusher"?

They have a 'pal' who saves TB codes and passes them along.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation this in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Yep, no less than EIGHT finds logged on the same day.

 

This is a worthwhile cache, but to visit it eight times in one day?

This fellow posted two finds on one of our caches on the same day. Probably a mistake, right? Fat fingers, trigger-happy index finger on the mouse?

I think there was a problem logging from IPhones that day. The system said that it didn't go through, so she kept trying. I had that problem on one of my caches. I deleted all but one find, and e-mailed the cacher. That was the explanation that she gave me, and others on the forum noticed this problem as well.

Seven states and Poland in only two days. This guy gets around!

 

This is only a small example, there were dozens more across the country for that month alone.

 

The sad thing is, he thinks he's impressing somebody.

After reading the logs, and looking up the bio of the owners, I see that the owners haven't been around for 4 years, so the cache is maintained by other random cachers. So, although Chick and I didn't find it, we found the obvious location, so we are going to log it. Perhaps a local cacher will adopt it, since "Cache Owners" have been MIA for 4 years.

 

I do agree that the cache should be adopted and replaced. It's a great place.

Sorry to do this, but it appears the last actual find was March 25th. There have been 3 NM's posted with no response. It appears the recent 'finders' have only found a lid.

Stopped in on a restroom break from a road trip. Couldn't poke around enough to find because of allergies, but my son enjoyed seeing all the cats running around.

Well, I'm in from Alabama doing some work and grabbing some caches. Also, getting 2 new states added to my find list. I found the lid to the cache, but there wasn't anything else there. I know that it went to the cache by the writing on the top. Anyways, I'm gonna mark it as a find but also put an entry for needs maintenance. TFTC

 

Happy Caching !!!!!

I am sad to say all we could find was the lid. I did see a little black kitten peeking up over the small bank but that was it.

Found the lid after a long search. Wonder why the lid is the only thing that stays? Anyway-blessings to those of you that have set up and maintained the Furry Friend City! You will reap your rewards in heaven.

I'm not sure if you'll call this a find or a DNF...lol. I found the lid to the container, I found several bits of swag, but did not find the rest of the container or the log. This one is definitely missing a few parts!! I gathered up what I could and put it all in one spot for the owner. We did not go in, however, as I've got 4 dogs and a cat already and KNEW I'd want to take at least two home!! Thanks for bringing us here!! And thanks to your daughters for being willing to help those sweet furry friends from the Humane Society. As I found a lot of the stuff, I'm going to log this as a find. But if the owner does not agree, please let me know and I'll change it. Thanks!!

Uh... we didn't find. The area is a little scary. We did see some furry friends. We didn't see the cache.

And that dumpster reeks! We feel for the poor smokers whose smoking table is downwind from the dumpster. They haven't gone on strike in protest yet?

Lot of muggle activity did not find the cache but did go in and pet the critters. So still a "win" in the score-book. Wonder if this got "taken" a 3rd time?

Couldn't find this one but just stopping at this cache and seeing where it was really touched my heart! Over the hill was a place for stray cats and there were all kinds of kinnels open so they would have shelter andnplenty off fod for them! Who ever takes care of this is a very special person and I give you lots of respect! Was in vacation but really wanted to take one of those kittens home with me although I already have 3 at home

Honest and Thoughtful and I headed into South Carolina after a tasty dinner so I could get South Carolina marked off the list of states I needed. Unfortunately all we saw was cats and no cache.

As soon as we pulled up to the general area, I had a bad feeling about this one. Having served on the Board of Directors for Arkansans for Animals and having worked with feral cats, I knew immediately that there were feral in the area. Ironically, this is the third time I've searched for a cache located near a feral cat colony. It is my first miss. I worry that caches near these sites do more harm than good. I suspect the cache is, once again, missing. If replaced, I would encourage the owner to move it well away from this area. It is good to call attention to the agency and I commend the work your family does with this organization, but think about the cats too. Even if every cacher that pulled in here sympathized with the cause, it would be very easy for a cat to get hit by a vehicle making the mad dash they did this evening.

Speaking of the high logging group in Missouri, anyone talked to them about it?

They're only after the numbers. They don't care.

Same with another high number guy from Peoria, IL area.

It's all about getting the high number. If someone doesn't check their actual stats and just sees their numbers then no one knows they're padding the find count.

 

I know exactly who you are talking about. Recently, one of them got honored for hitting 10,000 finds by the local caching group and was given a personalized chair...
