I do like to see if someone was there just before me. I don't put the time
on the log because I don't wear a watch. I know the GPS has a clock, but as
soon as I sign the log I'm often in a hurry to get to the next cache.
I also like to see the names of people I know or stickers & stamps that
people use. I usually use a stamp with two paw prints (2_cats) as our sign.
It's fun to see the stamps others use.

Subject: [GeoStL] Times on Logs
It seems more recently I've been "following" someone while caching. When
checking the logs, I've noticed that someone found the cache on the same
day. However, it's becoming very rare that people are putting the TIME they
visited. When I started, I didn't, but began doing it after #20 or so, when
I saw it in a previous log at a cache.
My feeling is that it gives someone "chasing" you a good idea on how far
behind they are. If I knew I was only 15-20 minutes behind someone, I might
try to catch up, hoping to meet them at the next cache that would logically
follow. Also, if I come to a cache and see someone either leaving or
standing there, I can better see if that person was a cacher. I can also
see if they did the cache before or after lunch (or dinner during these
summer nights). If it were an attempt at a FTF, it would tell you how far
behind you were.
What is everyone's opinion on putting the time of the find in the logbook
(and online for that matter) I've found that it only takes 5-10 seconds to
do it.
