finding a cache

Post by necromancer » 03 June 07 2:23 pm

good morning everyone
can you log a cache you have found without using a gps?
or is that just not done?
i dont mind going back to it to log it "correctly" if required when i get my gps this week sometime.
thanks

thanks
i did wonder if there was any way of verifying a log, like signing the log book or descibing the exact location but it looks like we just rely on honesty? the 2 that i have found i didnt write an entry in the log so i will go back and do that.

ok just wasnt sure what to do but will wait until i get my gps then use the 2 caches i have found as a test to see how i go finding them again with the gps, then i will log them. i can see this is going to be quite addictive!

Just go for it.......just because you don't have a GPS at the moment doesn't mean that it isn't possible. Wingaap (Qlder) is doing rather well at finding them without his GPS. (ask him why he doesn't have one :P )

I hope you enjoy your new addiction :twisted:

You would be better off with out a GPS. I have one, but it never seems to want to help me find caches. :shock:

As a matter of interest, how did you find them?

Really?

Will you please supply a reference to the rule/guideline/policy/edict where this is specified? :)

As has been stated in more than one other thread, we log a FIND, not a "signed the log book".

What are the rules in Geocaching?

Geocaching is a relatively new phenomenon. Therefore, the rules are very simple:

1. Take something from the cache

2. Leave something in the cache

3. Write about it in the logbook


Where you place a cache is up to you.

Thanks for that - I wonder why it didn't get raised in the other threads. :?

Of course, if we REALLY follow these rules, TNLN is illegal. :wink:
