On occasion I actually post a picture of the log sheet I’ve found (usually when any other picture would be a spoiler) – I’ve noticed that sometimes there are signatures missing when comparing them to the online logs. Maybe signing the log is considered by some to be an ALR. 😉

So that is why GC had to buy more disk space! 😆

On occasion? – you have an album full of log photos

Here’s my best log photo…

Mr G, I’ve apologized to a few people about forgetting to sign logs.
The owner of a cache let me know that I’d forgotten to sign on of his and I went back and my signature was already there, it was just different than he’d expected. The people involved got a decent chuckle out of it when I let them know.

Back on topic:
Sometimes I’m so happy that I found it, other times I get lost looking at previous signatures that I forget to add my own. Once I just didn’t have anything to sign with and blood is unsanitary. On behalf of the finders who don’t visit the forums or maybe didn’t realize that they didn’t sign, could you at least give us a notice that we neglected to sign before you delete?

ah….okey dokey.

We sign cache logs. If we can’t access the container or what’s inside, we won’t claim a find. But that’s us.

Since no one is making big bucks by padding their finds stats, and since no one is preventing anyone from finding a cure for cancer by not signing logs, I don’t need to raise my blood pressure by worrying about this. Sometimes while doing maintenance, we don’t see some signatures, but we don’t know what the situations are behind that, so if those cachers can live with what they do or don’t do, so can I.

If the cache has not been trashed or otherwise compromised, and the cachers who follow can find the cache in the way we intended it to be found, that is all we ask. Our caches don’t get hit as much as Mr. Greenthumb’s, and we can tell by reading any online logs (and we DO read those when we get our CO notifications) if there is anything hinky going on on a widespread scale, so it’s easier for us to go this route compared to others.

I keep track enough of who’s been caching in the area when, and what else they have been finding around here. If they came to town and enjoyed a nice drive in the country, their scribbling a few marks on a piece of paper won’t make any difference to me.

If things get bad, I should notice, and I might start doing things differently then, but for now… live and let live.

I don’t send a picture of the log sheet to the CO; but since I take a picture of every cache I find (that’s my way of taking field notes), sometimes the best or only non-spoiler picture I have is of the log sheet. So if that’s the case that’s the one I’ll post! 😉
