I guess what I don't understand, after looking at the caches that were done (by 
this person) without a pen/pencil, some were pretty close to the road.  I would 
have gone back to the car and got my pen and came back, then kept the 
pen/pencil on me and drove to the next one.  Hummmm??

I gotta agree...that many caches found and no pencil/pen/other writing 
instrument at all in any of them? I found a cache the other day that had a walk 
of over a mile to get to and when I found the cache I realized I forgot any 
kind of writing instrument. I "wrote" my initials with a stick on the log and 
took a pic of the cache hide and sent it to the CO for proof.

Any good geocacher worth his 'salt' will have some kind of writing instrument.  
Once (as a newbie) I left my pen in the car, so I left a drop of blood on the 
cache log in which a DNA test could easily verify I was there.  Maybe this 
geocacher should left a drop of blood also!  Since this person did so many 
without a writing instrument, I question whether the finds were actually made.  
So, in my opinion, if the logs are not deleted by the cacher, I believe we 
should MAKE HIM WALK.  Let me know and I'll bring the plank and video camera!

It has come to my attention that a local cacher, a member of SLAGA, a friend to 
us all, and a member of this list, has logged over 140 finds in the past few 
days of all of the MOGA caches at Mark Twain Lake.  On all 140 caches, he said 
he didn't have a pen so he couldn't sign the log book.  Moga puts pencils in 
all of the caches.  An easy remedy to this situation is for the cacher, 
himself, to delete all of the bogus finds.  I have encouraged the MOGA staff 
NOT to delete them.  Everyone plays this game his own way, be it ethical or 
not.  My question to the group is, since MOGA'11 has a pirate theme, if he 
doesn't delete the logs and shows up at MOGA'11, SHOULD WE MAKE HIM WALK THE 
PLANK?
