How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

This is a simple straightforward cache at the listed coordinates. It is located in a park in Willoughby. Besides finding the cache and signing the log there is one more simple requirement in order to log this cache and get a smiley.

In order to be eligible log this cache you must have 100 DNF logs on geocaching.com.

Multiple DNFs on the same cache count if they are logged as such.

An easy way to find out how many DNFs you have is to go to your account page. From there, click on either the Caches link or Geocaches from the Quicklinks. From either of those you can hit a link showing your DNFs.

As part of your log for the cache you must show your DNF count. You can show it in a variety of ways: A bookmark list, screen shot or photo of the DNF listing, etc. Merely stating your count is not enough.

Why don’t people like to log DNFs? It helps the cache owner know if there are problems and lets people gauge the difficulty. This cache is a way to get people to log them. And it also shows that sometimes people just couldn’t find it.

After a couple early questions here is an easy way to post a screen shot of your DNF page.
Go to your DNF page above and make sure the number is on the screen.
Hit the Print Screen key. This copies a shot of what is on the screen to the clipboard just as if you highlighted it and hit copy (Yes that key actually does something).
Open an image editing program such as Microsoft Paint, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc. and Paste it in that program.
Save it somewhere you will remember.
Upload it to your log like you would a photo or other image.

The initial contents of the cache are items I found on caches people had DNF'ed.

Thanks to JeepDC for the inspiration for the cache.
