You find a geocache in an inspiring location, what log do you leave on the geocache page for the cache owner and other geocachers?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here are 5 quick ways to inspire your fellow geocachers with your next log entry. It\u2019s easy to share too. Just forward this email to your fellow geocachers and watch the geocache-logging knowledge spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1)<\/td>\nTell Your Story<\/strong> \u2013 The geocache log you write is like the preview to a movie. You\u2019re telling geocachers about an adventure they could experience. Maybe your journey involved seeing the first leaves of spring, looking out from a mountain top or meeting other geocachers on the trail. Your logs help other geocachers decide if the geocache looks fun and exciting enough for them to find.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2)<\/td>\nAdd a Picture<\/strong> \u2013 A picture of a geocacher\u2019s crooked smile after a find says a lot about a geocache. It\u2019s easy to upload pictures on-the-fly with the Geocaching mobile app. If you\u2019re wondering about the power of a picture in a log, check out the 1000 most recent log images<\/a>.

3)<\/td>\nName Some Names<\/strong> \u2013 Geocaching is all about community. Share the geocaching usernames of those who joined you out in the field. It\u2019s a quick way to help build the local geocaching community and it makes meeting people at Geocaching Mega-Events<\/a> or Event Caches easier.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4)<\/td>\nAdd a Favorite Point<\/strong> \u2013 Favorite Points let you compliment the geocache creator and nudge other geocachers to check out this geocache.
