this last weekend Kev and I did 28 caches on sunday and I think 6 or 7 on Saturday......we got home so late on Sunday that we didnt log the finds till Monday evening when he got home from work...*we cache together we log together* hehe
But those 28 caches took us like 2 and 1/2 hours to log.
I hear ya . . . try logging over 100 . . . it takes a while . . . after a while it can almost feel like work! We try to find some little thing, even on the most "why did they put a cache here" type of cache, to say about either the cache or our day out or SOMETHING.
I agree . . . and even those GRCs can have a redeeming quality . . . when they're placed in a location that offers a scenic view or offers something that is a bit of a challenge -- I'm thinking of a certain cache in Liberty that I did recently that had both a good view of a pond and a twist on the cache container . . . another that Cache Maine put out that offered a great view of Penobscot Bay that I never would have seen if I was whizzing by at 55 mph . . . and another where you had to search through half a bazillion film containers all strung together to find the cache and then . . . well for those that have not found it I won't spoil the hide. I guess we dont do to badly as we have had several people mention they enjoy reading them and to be honest that makes it worth the 2 or 3 hours of log time to us.
Again . . . I agree . . . for a cache hider the main thrill and impetus in hiding a cache for me is to read the logs where people tell you how much they enjoyed the history, the view, the clever hide, etc.
dont you think, and this is just my opinion, that as people try to do more and more caches in a day...when it becomes about the numbers both for placeing and finding.....that they tend to do the cut and paste or the quick logs simply because they have SO many to do that it becomes a chore. I mean it isnt that way for us ...mostly because Sunday was the most we have done in a day but also because it isnt about numbers to kev and I .....but it is for alot of people it seems from reading logs and from some of the things said here on this forum.
I think you're right . . . it's a time commitment issue . . . plus after doing a whole lot of caches if you haven't actually jotted down a note or two you tend to forget which cache was which . . .
I guess for us when we read logs posted on our caches ...yes i love a detailed log that entertains me or mentions the work we put in on preparing or placing our caches , but it they found it and had a good time doing it that is REALLY why we put it there. For the fun of it.
We like this game/sport and do it the way we do it for us. IT'S FUN ....When it isnt FUN we wont do it anymore...
Hope this makes sence LOL
Makes sense to me . . . sounds like you're my kind of cachers . . . make sure you come to the Unity area some day . . . it's worth it just for the pizza . . . and the chance to see the Amish . . . plus I hear there are a few caches in the area.
Happy Caching All
