Full log etiquette?
By: hogsunters Date: March 1, 2016, 3:17 am
---------------------------------------------------------
We have recently found nano caches with full logs - what is the
correct etiquette in these cases? So far we have:
1. Taken a full but very wet log home and put a new log in,
messaged the cache owner offering to send the old log to them
[but it was virtually unreadable]. The cache owner thanked us
for replacing the log and declined to have the old log sent to
him - probably the best decision.
and
2. Taken a full damp log home and replaced it with a new one [a
previous cacher had sent a 'needs maintenance' alert requesting
a new log], we messaged the cache owner offering to send the log
to him/her - so far no reply.
So our question is have we followed the correct procedure or is
there anything else we should do? Large caches are no problem -
we just add another log or sheet of paper if needed.
Thanks for any advice.

Nano's are difficult as you say, you can't leave the old log
there.
I think what you have done is commendable and any CO (I would
hope) would be very please with your actions 8)
I usually carry some cache maintenance things with me, so while
caching if I come across an issue, I can do a little maintenance
on behalf of the CO and I would email them, if extra detail was
needed that wasn't in my log :)

Scan or photograph the old log, and include the photo with your
log, or add a Note log.
I've removed a very wet and full log, photographed it then
thrown it in the nearest bin. Then include the photo/photos in
the log.
If the previous logs mention wet/full, I add a Needs
Maintenance.
If previous logs also include a Needs Maintenance, add a Needs
Archived...

Thanks WT and B&RS - its nice to know we haven't done anything
drastically wrong! Its such a shame when cache owners don't take
full responsibility for their caches - just a simple 'Ta' would
suffice when a cacher does something to help them!
We did get a thumbs up from the next cacher who visited the nano
where we changed the log!
Like WT we also carry spares, kitchen roll etc for cache
maintenance if needed and are happy to do this as caching gives
us so much pleasure.
