Micro Cache Log Books

I've recently been asked by a local caching friend to check on their micro cache since they are away on vacation currently. This got me to thinking about micro cache log books. I did a search on Geoaching.com's forums and Google and found some great resources.

Micro Cache Logbook Materials

Then there's the matter of what to make them with. Regular printer paper is fine, of course. But there are other materials out there you could consider.

  • Rite in the Rain Paper
    Takes pencil good and stands up to water well. Proven to *not* be completely waterproof and will rot over time.
  • National Geographic Adventure Paper
    Pricy, but you can print straight on it with a bubble jet printer and it stays. Waterproof, I've seen this stuff soaking in water as a demo without the ink running.
  • Tyvek!
    A new and interesting suggestion for cheap and easy waterproof log books is Tyvek. This is normally used as a house wrap and has also been adapted to postage uses. Get a Tyvek envelop and cut it into strips. It takes ink well, pencil is questionable.
