Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Hazard of putting a travel bug in a highly exposed cache

One of my travel bugs, established in honor of WNBA player Stephanie McCarty, was placed in a geocache last night that the most recent cache finder reports as being "exposed". Other finders of this cache also report that this cache is not well hidden. I will offer a cautionary warning about putting a travel bug in an exposed cache that is likely to be found by accident.

There is a chance that the cache could be accidentally found and removed, with the travel bug inside, before the next geocacher finds it. This happened at the Park and Cache cache in Mesa. A geocacher put the Boothia travel bug in it on June 9, and the cache (with travel bug inside) was apparently nabbed by a park employee before the next geocacher attempted to find it on June 13. Thus, this travel bug appears to be gone for good.
