Why do so many geocache players refuse to post a DNF log? For some reason, many goecacher’s (myself included) will not post a DNF log after they were unable to locate a cache. How many times have you read a smiley log indicating that the finder attempted to locate the cache numerous times before finally logging a find? If you were to check the previous logs, more often than not you will see that the geocacher posting the find never posted a DNF log even though he/she reported not finding it on prior attempts? Why is this?

DNF logs should be utilized as an important tool to make the geocaching experience more interesting to all who play the game. By posting that sad blue face you are providing a GR8 service, not only to the cache owner, but to all other folks who are interested in searching for the cache.

This cache has been created to bolster the use of the dreaded DNF log, and at the same time will allow the cache seeker the opportunity to sign a logbook and exchange trade items even if the cache was not found.

This cache even offers a "FTDNF" (first to did not find) prize. Be the first to log a DNF to receive your very first "FTDNF" prize. Also included is a more traditional "FTF" prize if you are first to sign the "Found it" log also hidden at the cache site.

Here is how it works.

At the listed co-ordinates you will find a poorly hidden container. This is the "DNF" container. Inside the DNF container you will find some trade items and a "DNF" logbook. Sign the "DNF" logbook only if you are unsuccessful in locating the actual "Found it" log. Then return to this cache page and post your "DNF" . Don't forget to log any subsequent DNF's or log notes for each return visit.

I know, I know, what about all those numbers hounds out there who just do not feel fulfilled unless they get that coveted smiley face and add to their total find count listed just after their Geo-name? Relax, read on to see how you can still post a smiley face for this cache too.

In addition to the DNF container and log, I have placed a very well hidden “Found it” logbook (hence the 4 1/2 star rating) nearby.You have to find and sign the “Found it” logbook to claim the FTF prize and log your smiley face . That’s all there is to it. Easy, HUH?

Printed at the top of the “Found it” log you will find a code word. Email the code word to the cache owner for verification purposes and only then will you be allowed to log a smiley face . All other find logs without first being verified will be deleted. Please do not include the code word or any other spoilers in the online logs.

It is very important to place everything back just as it was found to enhance the experience for the next finder. Please, no PAF's either. The concept deployed here is such that when you finally do locate the "found it" log you will be glad that you didn't ask for help and probably will want to kick yourself in the rump for not seeing it sooner.

This cache has been very popular with local cacher's and has spawning at least two other caches in other states crediting this one as inspiration for the placement of those caches. Click here to see these caches.

Thanks for searching, have fun and keep on cach’n.
