Ok here we go, I went out and doing some caches and I did cache GC13ZQG and according to the page it states that the cache keeps disappearing faster than he can replace it and logging your find online will suffice. When I was there I could see exactly where the cache should have been but nothing there. So I emailed the cache owner and told him where I think the cache should be and explained it was missing and wanted to know if I can log it. But so far it has been almost 5 days since I sent email and I have not heard anything yet. So can I log this one or should I wait longer and then log it. What do people think?

04/11/2011 at 3:34 am #1946357If I remember right the cache is in the owners yard. If he can’t maintain it in his own yard it shouldn’t be there. I would take a loss on the smiley and post a “needs maintenance” on it.
04/11/2011 at 3:50 am #1946358CO hasn’t logged in since 22 Jul 10. I guess I would give it another few days for a response but log a DNF. It can always be edited to a find once you get word. It says the LOG goes missing, making me wonder what the container is or is supposed to be.
If no response soon, I would agree with Mister Greenthumb and post a NM
Also, after looking at the satellite view on googlemaps, I would like to know what the property west of the cache is…

04/11/2011 at 3:05 pm #1946360I just logged it from home. Thanks for the heads-up! 😆
04/11/2011 at 4:08 pm #1946361Post a NM and it will be taken care of.
04/11/2011 at 5:08 pm #1946362And per GC.com Rules. YOu need to sign a log to claim a find….or something like that.
04/11/2011 at 5:11 pm #1946363Yep thats why I am posting in here to see what the group would do. I just posted a needs maintenance post for it and we will see what happens if the owner comes out of hiding lol.
04/11/2011 at 6:18 pm #1946364The cache page states:
UPDATE—The log keeps getting muggled faster than I can keep up. Logging your find online will suffice!
followed by
Be sure to always log any DNFs. This enhances the search for those who come after you.
How is a cacher supposed to know the difference?
04/11/2011 at 6:41 pm #1946365Ok good i thought i was the only one confused. I didnt know what to do. lol i mean is this a free cache anyone can just say they found it and log a smiley if so then this one is no fun lol.
