Talk about minimalist, what about non-existent? I've noticed a few caches recently that the first to find and some other early finders don't log there find on the website... what's with that?

No way. I admit that when I was younger (in the caching world), if there was an easy find I didn't really care about it. Nothing much interesting happened anyway. But I now see the value in writing long logs. My biggest was probably on Woodlands 100 where I rode my bike out to the middle of a farming patch where the cache was 80m from the car #-o . It doesn't say that because I wrote it over two logs. Any good cache I come across I will write a decent log for.

I think c@w is having a little tease, lemmykc. Of all people, he'd know to look at the lines above and see your perfectly satisfactory average. 8)

Here's the opposite of a minimalist log:

Check out Ranger Fox's single found log and 12 "write note" logs to tell the novella length story.

I'm not sure this will set a trend...

Taking Minimalism to the Extreme - Dog-gone's log on the 16th of Feb suggests that they found the cache with two other teams - who never logged the cache at all. Found a 5/5 cache and then never logged it?
