How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:



This cache IS at the posted coordinates, see below to qualify.
Finally, a use for DNF's!


I didn't come up with the idea for this cache on my own. I saw one like this and figured we needed 1 too.


Please read the description below for logging requirements.



Numbers.
We are fascinated by them.
Milestones celebrate progress made and goals reached.

The number 100 denotes a certain sense of accomplishment.

To log a "Found It" for this cache you must have previously:

Logged one hundred Did Not Finds.

Why are so many cachers reluctant to log DNF's? It helps the cache owner know there might be a problem with a cache, or help the owner as well as other cache finders get an idea of difficulty. And there's nothing wrong with being human and sometimes missing the cache. Log those DNF's and let the record stand. (By the way, if you log your 101st DNF on this cache, well, let's just call that ironic.)

If you're not sure how to get your total, there is an easy way, no need to run a PQ (which won't tell you anyway).
  1. From your Quickview
  2. Click on "Geocaches" (2 to the right of Quickview)
  3. Click on "Didn't find it" (the total number appears right at the top)

While on that screen, take a screen shot of the top part of the page showing your username, the number, and at least the last DNF you had. You can screen shot by either using the snip tool (click start then search for snip tool) or by holding control and hitting the print screen, then open paint and hit the paste button. If you have a Mac, I have no clue. Please post it with your log.

The cache is at the posted coordinates. Since this is in the woods, there may be poison ivy or thorns.

Cache is a large camo taped jar with a bit of nice swag. there is no pen in it so BYOP.

Logs without the appropriate picture will be deleted.
