[Az-Geocaching] decrypted hints

[Jared Ross]

Oh, I didn't say that it was necessarily better. If someone has my number and they want to call me for a hint I'd be glad to help. If they want to call a friend for a hint, I'm not going to stop them from doing that either. But when I just receive an email out of the blue that says, "hey can I get a hint on this cache?" and I can't even tell if they've been there before, that's why I say you have to log a DNF before you get an extra hint. I want to know that you've at least made an effort to find it with the information provided. As soon as I notice a DNF on my caches I email the cacher an extra hint.

 So log a DNF to get a hint is better in your opinion. While I hate driving 200 miles round trip to log a DNF to get a hint. Thus making it a 400 mile round trip cache. 

 Sometimes people forget that others who do not live within 10 miles of the cache may come looking for it. On more then one occation we have been caching across the states (not just in Arizona) with no computer access for a few days and we cannot log a DNF until we are 200 + miles from the location. That hint is going to be extremly helpful at this time.


 Naw, its better to be able to give your friends a hint via phone calls and anyone else can suffer cause it's fun.

Jared missed the point, I guess. I thought you were saying that we didn't need to put hints because we could just call someone instead. My bad.


Oh, I'm aware of worse "hints" than the email for a hint ones. I require a DNF to be logged before extra hints are given, but I don't encrypt it in the hint section, that would be mean.
