I would give you a gimme (golf term) on this one. TFTC (even though I'm not
the owner).

....yep, still lurking in the background.....

I actually found a cache the other day.

While hiking, I spotted a likely tree, and yep it had a cache.

No pencil though, so no find for me.

Everyone is different.  I understand why you might want to log the cache in
San Juan. You went through the effort of finding the cache, probably
traveled a great distance and due to circumstances beyound your control, you
were unable to retrieve the cache.   

 

But for me and my own personal rules, I have to find the cache.  If someone
or something prevents me from finding the cache, then I didn't find it.  I
don't see any point to log a cache that I didn't find.  

 

A cache on park bench probably requires searching when muggles aren't
present or can be maybe when they are distracted.  Taking a shortcut to
claim the cache, because of pedestrian traffic or timing is against my
rules.

  I guess I'm one of the "bad" cachers out there.  A couple of weeks ago
while in San Juan I went to a cache on a park bench only to find 2 people
enjoying their lunch while sitting on top of the cache.  I hung around there
hoping they would leave, but they looked planted on the bench.  I took my
picture in the area and logged it as a "find". I figured it was better than
compromising the cache location by reaching between their legs ( and maybe
getting punched or shot ).  You can throw rotten tomatoes at me the next
time you see me.
