People geocache for many reasons, and they get pleasure from different things. Some people will only find easy ones, some people love to make/find puzzle caches,etc. Some people are really into moving bugs around. I think that if someone is going to a cache over and over to retrieve bugs they are going to other caches equally and therefore the chances of a new guy or someone just finding a cache bumping into bugs is about the same.
Also, if someone is going to caches they have been to , they are probably helping to maintain the cache.
just a couple of cents rattling around in my skull.

What is your (other cachers) feelings on geocachers returning to caches (sometimes very repeatedly) they have found previously just to get a Travel Bug? I personally think it is wrong, once you have found a cache there is no fun / adventure / difficulty, to keep going back to it. Also by returning to a cache you know where it is to get a TB, you cut chances of a new visitor to that cache having a legitimate find of a TB. Also it cuts down potential new visitors to a cache who may have went looking for a bug, but it is gone because a cacher who has been there before takes it. I think that finding geocaches should be the main goal and if you get a TB when you find a cache, cool bonus. Not find geocaches so you can locate them and rush straight to them when a TB has
