But then some virtuals enable pointless logging like that and really should be archived, like this one that Nexus69 had "found" http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... a3876edb39
I note that one has now been archived. I seem to remember this popping up before, a bunch of cachers that seem to be otherwise legitimate loggers, suddenly deciding that all virtuals are fair game (particularly if the info required can be googled rather than visiting the coordinates). This guy seems to have been around for awhile, has placed several caches, virtuals by no means make up the bulk of his finds. A bit different to the dog108 situation (but I still don't understand the behaviour).

On another note, this cache:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... 5cf7905955 I found amusing from an SA view point, just because of the names of the hiders. Some doppelgangers on the other side of the globe!

I think I found one of them last night :o
I was walking down the street and found a typical caching container that had been tossed out of a car into a bush. It didn't have a log book or pencil in it, so I'm assuming it has to be one of those dog108 caches :)

That's just scary!

Just glad that it isn't Martyn with a Y otherwise it would be even stranger =D>

How did you stumble upon that?

Very interesting to see he did BMX Bandits on the 14th of November, the one and only cache he did on YP. He can certainly get around in a day. Log duely deleted.
