Does cache owner sometimes answer to your “great” or friendly logs, to your favorite point ? I think it’s so rare ! In France for my experience !!!

How about removing the ‘Write Note’ option as often inappropriate messages and vicious comments are left in these. They can appear in logs, too, but at least remove one method of leaving unhelpful and hurtful comments.

When I add photo’s I always make sure that is not a spoiler.

I have a test for a cache “The yotter test”. If it is worth sitting down and spending five minutes at a cache site (Maybe to have your sarnies) then the cache was worth placing there. Most power trails obviously fail this test. Ingenious hides will always pass, caches with a view will almost always pass. Caches in the middle of a housing estate will almost always fail. Nano caches in places where a larger cache could have been put will probably fail. If you have to ask “what of interest is there here?” then FAIL.

Most of the times I add a sentence about the status of the cache box or the logging notebook. Is it ok, broken, wet? It’s another way of telling the cache owner “look, there are other people out there who care”.

I love seeing pics in a log entry …not of the actual hiding spot, but the area around …can make the difference to decide to go or not …I like to post a lot of pics myself!

Yeah, I like the “real’ cache concept too…! To which I respond with “real” logs… I mainly cache for the cool places it takes me I probably wouldn’t find otherwise, so power trails hold very minimal interest for me. Which means I don’t subject myself to the minimal/cut and paste logging that goes with them…

I’ve often wanted a “like” button on the logs. Some of them are awesome!

the Truth- absolutely! I try to “expand” the truth as much as possible whenever possible! If a log can’t make you laugh or tell you something helpful, why read it?

Sometimes I like photos of the container. I am thinking one thing and it ends up being another. What we call blinkies some call micros. You should not post photos of were the hide is. General area with a view I think would be good.
