CACHE DESCRIPTION BEFORE LOGGING!
It has been noticed that more and more cachers, both new finders and seasoned veterans, are signing both physical and online logs with a simple statement such as "TFTC". While all efforts to find a cache are greatly appreciated by every cache owner, a more descriptive log is both enjoyed by the cache owner and other finders, but also important for the "health" of the cache.
Every cache placed involves an investment of time, effort, and money by each cache placer. The only return expected is the enjoyment that each cacher will receive during the hunt and find of the cache, and we love to hear about these adventures in both the online and physical logs. Descriptive logs also often contain information that allows the cache owner to properly maintain their cache. Info such as condition of the logbook or container, or if the area around the cache has changed since it has been placed. A simple acronym does not provide much enjoyment or information to the cache owner.
Now I understand that a descriptive log is not REQUIRED by any rules, but it sure is appreciated! So the purpose of this cache is to let new cachers know what an important part of the game logs are, and to remind some of the "old salts" as well.
I cannot require you to write a log for two reasons: 1) If that's absolutely how you decide to play the game and enjoy it, who am I to tell you otherwise. And 2) Basically its against the rules (additional logging requirements for a traditional) :). But what I definitely can do is politely ASK you to do the following: Write a short description of your adventure getting to/finding the cache in Your online log.
If there was nothing in particularly exciting about the find that day dont feel you need to write me a novel, just a quick note will do. How was the weather? Who were you out caching with that day? Did you see any cool animals/creatures while you were out? What did you have for breakfast/lunch? Do you put your TP roll on with paper over or under? Will you go to prom with me? Ok, so maybe I got a little carried away there, but you get the idea. Just write me what you feel I would enjoy reading when I'm stuck at work and I get an email notice that you found my cache and it includes your log. Heck, even make something up, I'll never know...
Now if you decide not to do this, I will not delete your log for the cache, BUT you should expect a message from me asking you to please read the cache description, and if you should choose to, re-write your log. If you dont, no hard feelings, I'll assume that's the way that you choose to play the game. Either way I hope you enjoy the cache, and that it helps improve logs for other finders and hiders to enjoy!And a Big thanks to Fussy Pants for letting me steal their cache page from their cache I found in Reno GC2AGE2, (visit link) Go check it out if you get to Reno
