[Az-Geocaching] If It's Not a Find, What Is It Then?

[SSpackeen at aol.com]

I'm new to this (chatty) group, having only found it a couple of weeks ago,  
and this ethical question is amusing.
 
DNF's should be left intact.  Subsequent successes should be logged  but 
previous DNFs should remain.  
 
I log all DNFs as they occur.  If I find the right spot but encounter  a 
specific problem (lost or destroyed cache, no log book, missing identifiers,  
etc.) that prevents me from claiming a find, I will just post a note in this  case 
wait for a response.  
 
Several weeks ago I found a spot and I found the piece of wood that was  
supposed to direct me to the second stage.  The writing on the wood was  
washed-out, so this was not really a DNF.  I posted a note and the owner  has not 
responded, so I haven't returned either.

I  think you handled that just fine.  What I have seen a lot of people do is  
completely wipe out their DNF or Note log and replace it with the find one  
once they did find it.  I think that both logs should stay in place.
