Do You Do This?

Nope. I've noticed over time that my logs, both finds and DNFs tend to be rather long winded, unless I can get right to the point rather quickly.

Not only do I write pretty long DNFs, but I also write fairly long Finds as well. I enjoy telling the story and don't think I get carried away -- I rather think of it as "complete" :lol:

My FIND log's are usually a short description. My DNF log's are usually much longer. As Imajika said above, the DNF's seem to have more of a story to tell.

I would consider that good if my caches got that many logs per month. Two of my caches are in the mountains and more difficult to reach, so they don't get many finds and the one I placed on Memorial Day Weekend has gotten one find, but then again, it's a puzzle cache.

 

But the log was a good log to read. :lol:

It's because we don't want to look like losers when some 7-year-old tracks it down an hour later. So we get on long-winded explanations about weather, low batteries, amoebic dysentary, state troopers, rabid badgers, aliens, paraplegic caching partners / spouses that require our attention and any other excuse to explain that we jus didn't look under THAT rock.

I think my DNF's are longer, it helps the cache owner know where you looked, perhaps, and maybe alert if they need to check on it. I might say that I looked all aorund that tree, but the cache was in a rock, good info for the owner, I suppose.

So you've been to that cache too?

i make long logs. when possible, i take pictures. and write little commentaries on the pictures.

 

a good log is especially important when law enforcement officers are involved, or injuries, or unnecessary bushwhacking. as a cache owner i appreciate it when somebody remembers enough about the hunt to tell me something other than what number it is for them today.

 

my NF logs are big, but so are my found logs. i'm just having a great old time.

Sometimes I write long logs, other times they are pretty short. It just depends on if I have had any experiences during the search that others might find interesting. Or if I just want to rant about how I searched for an hour but couldn't find it.

Yes, definitely when Law Enforcement is involved!!!

Our DNF's are often due to grave misfortune, as this one demonstrates...

 

Oh, yay! I was feeling like a massive dork-ola the other night.

 

Yours was far more spectacularly awful!

Some of my longest logs are for DNF's. They often have the best story.

Yep, I remember reading that log right before me and Squealy went searching for that cache. It should have been enough to keep us away but it didn't. You won't find any kind of log because we couldn't even figure out a way to get close to the cache to look for it. :blink:

I enjoy writing my DNF logs. When the DNF is my own fault, it's great to poke fun at myself. When it's a possible problem with the cache, it's helpful to the owner and other seekers.

 

But sometimes a DNF log can have nothing much to do with the cache, or it can be a longwinded joke DNF log on a joke of a cache, or it can be a series of one-line DNF logs when you sort of have the feeling in advance that you ain't gonna find it without making multiple trips. :blink:
