Found It = Didn't Find It

 Owner Maintenance

October/2017

Cache replaced. DNFers may log finds

------------

Perhaps the owner could have replaced the cache in 2015 when the DNFs started to come in, instead of encouraging people who did not find the cache to log a find.

Turns out it was 2015 and not 2016 when the cache went missing

[+Isonzo Karst]

Found it Jan/24/2017 6 for 8

Didn't find it Nov/05/2016 Nothing found. Not many places to be hidden. Not even the magnet that has been mentioned. Think this one is gone.

Found it Mar/14/2015  yeah, needs maintenance big time.

 

Found it Jul/22/2014 Not found

 

Found it Jun/15/2014 Found it...just the magnet like previously mentioned

 

Needs Maintenance Jun/01/2014 Just the magnet here buddy

 

Found it Jun/01/2014 I found the magnet and some tape but no sign of the original Chahe needs maintenance

 

Found it Mar/16/2014 Thx! Your cache needs some maintenance. We found the cache taped around the bottom of the pole with black electric tape. I'm sure you didn't mean this as cache hide itself

Found it Feb/24/2014 That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

No counting a cache unless you open the cache and sign the log, even if you have to sign with a twig because you forgot a pen! I had to DNF a cache three times before I got my husband to carry a ladder about half a mile, cause I am vertically challenged.

[+L0ne.R]

Karma?

(5 NMs, cache owner hasn't logged in since 2015. The throwdown guy wasn't good at taking care of his own cache, it was archived by a reviewer.)

 Found it

Found the remains of the cache and replaced with a new container, log book and swag. Once I found the damaged cache, I decided to replace it. All the contents were wet and the logbook ruined.

I opened the trunk of my car, and dumped my caching bag in, and began to build the new container.

Leaving the trunk open, I went to GZ and replaced the cache. I stood up, feeling very proud to help a fellow cacher out and as I walked towards the car, a gust of wind came up and closed my car's trunk. ...... with my car keys inside.

A small panic attack, and I realized that I had my phone. I phoned the cabin Resort and explained my dilemma. The owner sent her daughter to rescue me with a coat hanger and CAA card.

The hanger wouldn't fit, so CAA to the rescue. After an hour, he arrived, opened the door and all was good.

So, needless to say, a memorable cache for me.

I so much would love to have logged this as a find but the cache seems to have been muggled, we found a white lid, and plastic baggie with hair ribbons. the walk was beautiful, picked some rosehips for tea on the walk back. We believe the cache is gone and now getting home to NJ and reading the logs were sure it was not there. will post pictures soon. I am positive we were in the right place well send pics to the owner, asking to post that smiley if the cache is indeed not there. Thanks for bringing us here. Unfortunately we can not get back from jersey at least for a year or so. We were going to leave a jeep 4x4 but could not.

 Found it

From reading logs prior to hiking out here, I knew that this one had a good possibility of being missing, so I had a spare container and log with me. At GZ I searched at 5 feet, but found nothing. So I also looked on the ground in case it had fallen, but again, found nothing. So I placed my replacement container at 5 feet.

Last found in 2015.

Nov/12/2017 REVIEWER
Greetings from a volunteer reviewer. Based on information in the logs, your listing has been disabled. At a minimum, you need to post a log to the cache page within the next month, to let the community know that you intend to check on the cache. If no log is posted by the cache owner, the listing may be archived (permanently retired) by a reviewer. Please check the cache and repair, replace or move as needed. Then: Enable the listing Post an Owner Maintenance log to remove the Needs Maintenance attribute icon if present If necessary, use an "Update coordinates" log to edit the cache coords. Archive the listing if you no longer wish to own it. Archive, Enable, Owner Maintenance and Update Coordinates are all log types available to cache owners.

Angry crabs. They can be quite menacing.

Found it 03/21/2017 Stopped in for a gas and go and decided to go looking for this one. Had to remember from memory as there is no cell service here. Was unable to retrieve log due to some angry looking crabs upset with me for disturbing them. Been awhile coming but I've finally logged a cache in ----. TFTC.

How ironic that the cache with the best view is the only one that’s missing , and what a great view it is too .As the CO doesn’t cache anymore and it’s obviously missing due to the precise hint I’ve replaced it with a micro.

[+Cacheism 500]

   The only time I think this is acceptable is if you don't find it, say so, the CO checks, confirms it wasn't there and gives you the option of logging it as a find as you 'would have' found it.

 

 

  On the other end of the scale is where you find it alright but can't extract it/open it etc to sign it! I once tried logging one of these as a find but the CO wasn't having it!

[+Cacheism 500]

  Oh yes, 'bits' of cache only left. If I am certain enough they WERE the cache and not something else I generally log these as FOUND.

I would log a DNF and a NM. I've this many times where there would be a string of "Found It" on the remains with no log,  some loggers mentioning the condition but nobody logging a NM.

No log to sign, cache destroyed, its a DNF.

On a few of my DNFs where no container was found, i've had offers from COs to log their cache as found anyway because they were sure i would have found it if it had been in place. While i appreciated the gesture, i had to decline because the fact was, i DID NOT FIND the cache.

2 NMs for a broken container. 4 months later, the owner removed the cache and temporarily disabled it in August.

Quote

 

This cache has been temporarily removed. There were new life forms growing with the container and I think it stopped being a cache needed to be CITO'd. New container to come.

 

In September someone posted a find because they found the remains of a container.

In October someone threw down a container and claimed a find.

Quote

 

Noticed that this needed a new container, so I brought one along...this cache can be enabled.

 

8 months later the reviewer posted a Reviewer Note.

Same day someone posts a find thanking the guy who threw the cache down. 5 days more and the next finder leaves a note thanking the cacher who threw down the cache. Two days later the next finder  leaves a message of thanks for the throwdown. 

One month later the reviewer archives the cache. No response from the CO all this time. 

3 months later, after archival, the CO posts an OM saying "Cache has been replaced."

Cache remains archived.

Found it, but it needs replacement. Found a ziplock bag of wet paper mush and a fragment of a Official Geocache sticker.

That was a "Found it" log on one of my caches.

Um...yeah, a baggie of unidentifiable mush and a fragment of a sticker are not a cache. One of the few times I've ever had to delete a find.  The ammo can WAS missing, and has since been replaced.
