[Az-Geocaching] "Logging a not found"-question

[Jim Scotti]

Well, you didn't find it, so to me that means a not found log entry.  You can
tell the whole story there and perhaps help other cachers out either by
example or to find out why they couldn't find it too.  I've had 2 not found
logs, but I later found both of them.  The first was just plain difficult to
find, but a 2nd effort succeeded while another was due to my GPS giving me a
lousy solution, placing me some 150 feet away from the cache site.  A second
visit put me at the correct location and I found it immediately.  But I made
the not found logs and they are a record of what my experience with those
caches were.
