    Today while looking for a multi I found a cache that had not been listed yet. Does that count as a FTF? 😛

    Ha!  I’ve had that happen a couple of times.  Always makes me laugh.  🙂

      In my neck of the woods that would be a “yes.”

      I know a few people that that has happened to and I believe they took the FTF.

      I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

        A couple years ago, I found a couple caches that are still unpublished.  The story behind that is these are two on a power trail that are in too close proximity to an older cache on the trail.

        The buck stops here. . .and gets entered into Where's George.

          Would these be Wayside63 and Wayside64? I recently did that section of the trail and thought those two maybe were archived. Never published seems more likely.

            That happened to me too, on the Fenwood to Edgar ATV Trail series. The CO tried to set up a trail with the caches 528 feet apart, but had a few that were too close, so the never got published. CO didn’t try to make adjustments, just left the gaps. I found 2 or 3 of the unpublished caches.

              Note that I said “still unpublished”, the same thing as “never published”.  Yes, it was those two.

                Yes, I understood.  What I meant was, when I was caching on that trail, I wondered why those numbers were skipped, and I thought at that time they had been archived.  Honestly, the way some power trails are maintained, I am surprised more are not archived.

                  We could keep going on the “never published” thing, and there was no need to rephrase what I said to begin with.  Honestly, I really wish we could log those two since we actually found them.

                  I had met the CO of this PT once and he seemed to be adamant about signing logs in order to claim a find on a cache, but the fact that he doesn’t respond to NM’s of wet logs and accusations of armchair logging tells a different story.
