(Sarcasm noted but since you asked...)
Think about why the 'Sloof Lirpa' and 'Da Bomb' were caches so
popular....because people wanted to read the logs!
There was a time when the online logs were actually interesting to read. =
I,
and probably many others, used to read the 'Recently Logged Visits' page =
on
geocaching.com or the 'AZ Cache Activity' page on azgeocaching.com to rea=
d
about others caching adventurers. Or maybe it was just me... :) =20
But, as time went on, and as more cachers and caches got involved, the lo=
gs,
like the caches themselves, 'devolved' (thanks Tierra Buena...love that
phrase!) into nothing more than "Quick easy find. TN/LN/SL.". =20
Don't get me wrong, there are cachers that aren't 'minimalist loggers'. =
In
particular, RopingTheWind used to write what I called novellas and he too=
k a
lot of grief about it. But, his logs were quite extensive and were very
enjoyable to read. As a more recent example, look at Sprockets 'chain lo=
gs'
where he tells a story that encompasses the entire day, even about being
accosted by the Mexican Policia! :) Look up a cacher in SoCal by the nam=
e
of 'Yrium' if you really want to read some entertaining logs. Here's his
log for a mundane urban cache:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=3D4ce54865-1dc2-48ca-9b12-bb=
3562f
936ca
Now, I will agree that some caches are hard to find anything interesting
about, and I myself have had many caches where all I could do was a short
log for my finds, especially when it's a 20 cache day. Heck, I usually
don't even get around to posting my logs for a couple of days and by then
some details have already faded. But when I can, I try to do some write =
up
to so there's more than one sentence. Cache owners get notified whenever
someone posts a log to one of their caches and for the most part, this is
the only feedback the owners get. I know I enjoy reading the adventurers
that people have when looking for my caches, found or not. =20
Also, I'm sure that most cachers have caches on their 'watchlist'. Why do=
es
anyone put a cache on their 'Watchlist'? To read the logs. Either they
have found it and use the watchlist notifications to be reminded of it, o=
r
they want to find it someday and use the notifications to keep tabs on th=
e
status of the cache or to read about the (mis)adventures of those that ha=
ve
found it.
Another reason I try to write more than a sentence or two is that if I go
back and read my logs, I can easily remember the cache, where it was hidd=
en,
what was going on around us and any adventurers we had getting there. If=
I
go back and read one of my logs and I can't remember the cache, I know I
didn't write a good log. The log that Scott pointed out was a bit
extravagant, but it made the cache memorable for me, the cache owner and =
the
cacher I was with both enjoyed it (see the cache page) and obviously othe=
r
cachers did as well.
I'm sure TeamAI and RtW could write some very interesting logs about a
convertible during a recent caching trip along the Beeline(?)... :)
