Not exactly that situation, but my biggest regret/anger has come from two
deleted logs. Ironically enough one of them was for Ya Skala which we
found and the cache owners decided to delete our log entry. The other was
a deletion of a no find log for Harshaw Cache. Many people couldn't find
it, and our hunt was very positive anyway as we met fellow cachers looking
for it, the cache owner informed me that they didn't want any negative
comments about their cache and insisted that the coordinates were right
on. Since then the cache has been found and was over 100 feet away from
the posted coordinates. I don't think that the cache owner has ever
updated their page. If Harshaw does get archived before I get a chance to
travel back down there, I will regret that.
