One trail we did for a souvenir and we needed the 30 additional caches and it was the last weekend to do it. For this one, hubby drove, and I got out and grabbed the cache and signed for us.

Navigator jumps out, grabs cache, signs for both (or all in one case), and driver heads to the next. In both cases, we were in a car one driver, one navigator. We've done two semi-power trails, one got us 30+ for a day, the other was our all time high of 40. Hubby and I cache together most of the time, and we get to GZ and "take sides" or start searching different likely areas, till one of says "Got it!" unless it's so obvious we both spot it as we walk up. I was involved in the search, we were searching together, and we found it. Sure, I'll play "Three Musketeers" style and log the find, even though my buddy was the one who found it. And my buddy spots it (and spoils the hide declares victory) 20ft west of GZ when I'm 20ft east of GZ, 40ft away from my buddy. And for some reason, I'm geocaching with someone who refuses to play "Huckle Buckle Beanstalk" style and insists on spoiling the hide declaring victory as soon as he spots the cache. So something like this: I drop my backpack at GZ (as identified by our device(s), and then I search to the east of the backpack and my buddy searches to the west. If I may play Devil's Advocate for a moment.what if (for whatever reason or for no reason at all) you never got within 10' of your cache? Let's say your friend found it, but you just stayed where you were for whatever reason but you could easily have walked over to it (as opposed to it being up a tree or across a river or something) to touch the cache or sign the log. When I leap frog with my buddy, I never leave GZ until he has eyes on the cache and vice versa. What's the difference with you doing that and me seeing my buddy signing the log on a cache as I whizzed by him on my bike en route to the next cache? We (you and I) were both 10' away from our respective caches, but we never touched them or signed our name on the log. And I don't log finds for caches I didn't search for, even if my friend signed my name to it.
Sometimes my friend signs both our names.īut I don't sign my friends name for a cache I found while my friend was 528ft down the road searching for some other cache. Sometimes I sign my own name and my friend's name. (Seriously.I'm not being facetious about that. How about looking at it this way: If you are out caching with a friend while hiking thru the woods, and as you search GZ your friend finds the cache first, do you sign the log yourself or just have your friend sign the log for you since they already have the log in hand? If you have personally signed the log for every find that you've logged, then good for you for having purist levels of morality that would make Knowschad proud. It's a HUGE difference between leap frogging and divide and conquer. Also, if John can't find cache 1 on the bike trail, Jane stops to help look until they either find it or DNF it.which would not happen if the two of them were nowhere near each other. If caches 1-1000 are in one area (let's say in Florida) and caches 1001-2000 are in another area (let's say Texas) and John and Jane are never in each other's area, then it's much different than the two of them riding down a bike trail together. Yeah, I don't see much difference between John finding caches 1-1000 while Jane finds caches 1001-2000, vs John finding caches 1, 3, 5, etc., while Jane finds caches 2, 4, 6, etc.
