I try to save as many old logbooks as I can from our caches. They are fun to look back at to see how new cachers have become old veterans, and the early ones have the logs of the Founders of the WGA.

I’m still in favor of having a WGA Historian to write the history of the WGA, and keep some of these old logs and other memoribelia for the future. Nudge, nudge, know what I mean?

First, congratulations on getting a full log book! Granted, I don’t own many caches, but typically my log books have been either muggled (along with the cache) or destroyed by the elements.

When we started caching in 2004, people actually wrote lengthy notes in the log book describing their experiences. I think with the explosion in the number of micros where only a name and date fits on a log sheet, the practice of justing signing name and date spilled over to traditional size caches even when there is ample room to add a note. I kind of miss the notes, but OTOH, sure is nicer to add the note online where it’s warm and no mosquitoes to fend off. Bottom line for me, just having the list of names and dates isn’t that interesting, so I don’t keep them.
