Lesson Learned on Crosslisting

[DudleyGrunt]

I recently cross listed my Islands cache from GC.com. I'd not gotten any DNF's on it and assumed all was well. Well, I should have known better. I knew there has been some construction going on for a while nearby, but not directly affecting GZ. I failed to take into account that the last logs (Found It) were on July 24. That's nearly 2 months ago.

I should have done a check on the cache before listing it here. At least with my 2 Good For Your Soul caches, they'd been very recently found before I crosslisted them. Unfortunately, sfcchaz spent over an hour searching yesterday. I'll be away camping this weekend, but I will be trying my best to check on it Sunday afternoon. In the meantime, I've disabled both the GC and OCUS listings.

Realistically, there was no way you could have known that the cache was missing/had a problem. That is why people should not be afraid to post their DNFs. It really does help the CO. Hopefully you can figure out a fix for it!

[DudleyGrunt]

Yeah, but given it had been almost 2 months since a find and I was offering it to a new audience, I should have checked it.

I'd definitely advise anyone else crosslistng an existing cache to check on it before publishing it here, particularly if it has not been recently found.

True, true.

Dont beat yourself up over it. I have a couple of caches that havent been found, or at least nothing has been logged either way for many many months but they are both still there (I checked them just a few weeks ago.
