Since I just posted the message about how frustrated I am with travel bugs
in general, I wanted to reply to this one.
I can understand that a bug being put into a cache that is hard to get to
can be upsetting. One of mine ended up in the same hard cache TWICE. All
things being equal though, I would rather have it sitting in a hard cache
than in the pack of a geocacher that for whatever reason decided to leave
the game and never place it. As long as it is in that hard cache there is
still a chance that it will move.
I of course have lost all hope in travel bugs and will most likely just
leave them in caches when I come across them. I enjoy this game too much
to spoil it with what appears to be increasing disappointment with the
travel bug system.
