Virtual Cache Logging Guidelines
Logging a virtual cache find requires compliance with the requirements stated by the owner, including answering the required questions by email to the owner, providing original photos if so requested, etc. Answers to questions, hints or clues should not be placed in the logs, even if encrypted.
Notes: If you are the owner of a virtual cache in Hawaii, thank you for creating and maintaining your virtual cache; that's one less you will have to find to complete the challenge! Also since no new virtual caches can be published the number of caches required could decrease in the future if any virtual caches are archived. If so, first finders can feel smug about completing a more difficult challenge than later finders.
