I want to thank Gpsees for giving me a couple of DNFs on two geocaches of mine, Numbers Blitz 4 and 5, for I went out to check on them on my while to and from Glide this morning and 4 was muggled and the prescription bottle, the lid and the log sheet were laying on the ground and scattered about just down the slope from the guardrail. Number 5 was just plain missing so I replaced it. They are all back in working order now so that is good thing.
This is exactly, I mean exactly what I what I was talking about at the business meeting before the UVGA meet and eat on August 22nd. If you don't find a geocache, instead of just leaving and NOT leaving a DNF and the owner thinks all is well, leave a DNF for the geocache may be missing. It is not like you are having points taken away from you or you are ruining your perfect run. If it is a DNF play the game and leave a DNF for the sake of the owner.
Took me all of about 5 minutes to maintain these two geocaches ... no skin off my nose out of my day.
Thank you Gpsees for letting me know ... they are up and back in action again thanks to you.
The question remains - how many geocachers looked and walked away from these two and for some reason did not have guts to leave a DNF? ... I wonder.
Welcome to You
Welcome to our blog about our adventures in geocaching around the Pacific Northwest, our little corner of the world. We started Geocaching on March 6, 2010. We are approaching 600 finds and have an even 100 hides so far.
Geocaching is a fun activity for Nosey Rosey (Dawn) and I and we do it as a team. It has taken us around our county to places we have never seen before in 13 years. The exploring is just one aspect of the fun in geocaching. We go out nearly every weekend and use multi-million dollar satellites to play our hobby for free using an iPhone and my handheld GPS.
I (Ed) go by GeoHL now since I am called GeoHotLine by some of the fellow geocachers in the area.

Well stated, Ed. I certainly am happy to man up and take my DNFs. It is either the cache is missing or I am blind as a bat. Either way, DNF.
