Everyone does have a different philosophy when logging caches… some people don’t even do it.  This is basically the way you would “gain points” if geocaching was a game that had points.  Logs can be pretty simple and as with any hobby or sport a shorthand has been developed “TFTC” & “TNLNSL” are pretty common.  Thanks For The Cache & Took Nothing Left Nothing Signed Log.  There are those cachers when they are on a run just cut & past “found while on a run.” Sue has always been good at logging most caches with a personal note (then again she’s good at thank you notes too).  As you know since Cecil’s start he has always logged caches “ook”  there have been a few special caches that have gotten more, but those are few and far between.  Also each cacher has a system… Sue writes down the caches she finds in order in a little book… I log them using the app on my phone.  When we get home She sits back and logs caches… I nap since I’ve already logged everything.  When we were in Canada it drove me nuts because I couldn’t log Cecil’s caches.

Like some cachers Cecil has had some trouble with cache owners who really don’t understand Monkey (or morse code, or whatever they log with).  Cache owners have deleted logs or threatened to delete logs because they didn’t “get it.”
