Dare I say it – Ok here it goes.
A majority of cachers never read the description and have no clue why the cache is there. They just want to get the smiley.

I don’t know if it’s a majority of cachers, CJ, but there are certainly quite a few. Then there are those who complain in their logs (if they write anything) about the cache when they couldn’t find it or had trouble with it in some way or didn’t know they had to do such-and-such, and the information they needed was right in front of them… DID YOU READ THE CACHE PAGE??? 🙄

You’re right – I corrected my initial post to change this to “A number of cachers”.

Oh yeah..don’t forget about the cache pages themselves.

Some say “Bison Tube. BYOP.”

That’s it.

That certainly deserves a TFTC.

Point taken, Todd300. Written out, that log would be longer than the cache write-up.

Short cache pages, huh?

And not one of the last 5 logs was TFTC

My Log from August 26, 2008 when Jim & Linda still owned this cache.
“Out caching when I shoulda been fixing computers but this one had my curiousity up. Thanks J&L SL”

Maybe I’m reiterating myself from previous threads on this topic, so if I am, sorry. We enjoy the logging aspect of this game. It’s an occupational byproduct for me and Trekkin’ just likes to talk, so either way, most caches get at least something from us. We do understand that for some folks, the writing is not at all fun (also an occupational byproduct), but still would like at least a line beyond tftc if they can. Misspelled, poor grammar, whatever, we truly understand and applaud the effort. It’s very easy to get fussed about all kinds of things, but I have been trying really hard to look at our cache placements as being put out into the universe and come what may. For every cruddy log out there, we get one that makes it worth our trouble and we try to focus on the positive. What makes our hearts sing are those logs that tell a story and show that they actually read the cache listing and understand why we put the cache out there. For the most part, we place things to bring a person somewhere to enjoy. It can be harder to wax eloquent about those caches placed for the express purpose of boosting numbers, but we do try and say a line, anyway.

I wrote some crappy logs yesterday. I found some crappy caches yesterday 🙄 Kept hoping they would get better.

Some crappy caches were missing, too.

Following the signals from space.

Well, I don’t know if those were crappy or not, since they were missing. Maybe they were great caches when they were there 😆

in fact only 3 TFTC only logs out of 178 finds.

question: do you just put TFTC if it is really a crappy cache? or do you post TFTCC?

Nah… Too much work…

[Uncle_FunParticipant]

There are no requirements for cache page or cache logs! Only that the paper log is signed.

Get over yourselves.

[Team Black-CatParticipant]

Well, the WAS a civil conversation up to this point. Seems like someone else needs to get over something….
