Geocache Description:

This is a challenge cache and so is at the published coordinates, however TO LOG THIS CACHE YOU MUST HAVE FULFILLED THE REQUIRED CRITERIA, so read on!

 The DNF (Did Not Find) is a valuable tool for cache owners to help them realise that there may be a problem with their cache. They aren't something to be embarrassed about or to shy away from logging - you will find that the most experienced cachers will happily log DNFs.


However, this cache is to reward those that have persevered and gone back to turn that frown upside down and converted a DNF into a Find.

 In order to log this cache you must be able to show that you have DNFd 30 different caches that you have found at a later date. Previous finds are of course acceptable.

 In logging this cache, please use the following method to display your qualifying caches;

 GC Code | GC Name | DNF Date | Found Date

 To preserve some integrity there needs to be at least one day difference between the DNF date and the found date.

 To be clear, this isn't about suddenly logging lots of DNFs, it is to show tenacity and desire to never give up!


For those that use GSAK, this macro may help DNF to Found

 This cache was inspired by Richlay's "Try, Try Again - A Challenge Cache" GC43DEM where we were happy to admit 180 DNF's to Find conversions back in Feb 2013 and probably have a lot more to add to the list now. As with the CO's who heard your woes and triumphs in the DNF and subsequent finds, we love hearing your stories and please always remember to thank every CO for giving you the fun of the find.

 Good luck!

Congratulations to SooziB for the FTF here and for turning all those sad faces into smileys!
