Hmmm... I drive past 3 virtuals every day on my way home. These particular ones I can see from the car very easily (they're big). Maybe I ought to log them. ;-)

Gale,

Just because a person states "Nice location!" on the cache page doesn't mean that the individual found the cache. In the case of the cache that you reference, I could look at the map and determine the cache is located in a "nice location."

It's also possible the individual may be driving to/past the caches without actually finding them, but is claiming them as a virtual.

I believe it's understood that a log book/sheet must be signed at the cache location to claim a find on the web page (unless the cache is actually a virtual and/or has other rules for claiming a find). I have no objection to a cache owner deleting an entry if there is no proof that the individual actually found the cache. If there is a question from a cache owner, an email to the individual asking to explain where and how the cache was found and/or asking for a description of the cache should clear up some doubt.

Rand

    If this is the person you are referring to, check out this log entry for Feb/2002. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=10655&log=y&decrypt= There's another one I remember seeing that may exhonerate him. I'm still looking for it.
