Glorious Day Not to Maintain Caches

Beautiful day to get out and get some much needed Vitamin D.

I had several caches on the far west side of town with previous searchers crying DNF! Two, in particular, had people messaging me that, "Oh, it is definitely not there!"

With the stay-at-home order loosening, TaGeez and I decided to take a drive on that side of town, and, alas! The caches were right where we left them! Same places almost 200 other cachers had found them!

C'mon out! They are waiting for you!

No Log?!?

The message said "no log". You think they could've mentioned that half the container was missing, too? 😜

Cache Maintenance Musings

It's 9pm and 63° in Michigan! I'm not complaining. It's perfect weather for TaGeez and I to take a stroll. Goal for tonight is cache maintenance between 11 and 12 Mile. We also need to plan for HNY18.

Interesting, though. We've trekked up and down Campbell, maintaining a stretch at a time. Several times we've found throw-down containers right next to our originals. Several times the containers are entirely new to us.

I know some cache owners are too uptight - they check the paper logs against the online logs and will delete "couch Cachers". Life is too short for that for me. I figure everybody plays the game their own way.

I guess my only pet peeves are new caches logging "it must be missing." That experienced, eh? I have over 8,000 finds and rarely blame the cache. It normally takes another trip or two before I acknowledge it.

Groundspeak made some changes to their dashboard which is supposed to help hiders. I miss the old old dashboard that listed caches the Needs Maintenance. Don't make me hunt through the attributes. What are you hiding?

Oh, well. It was still a good night for a walk. I hope we have a few more before we settle in for the Winter.
