I've revisited caches a couple of times to pickup a TB. I travel for business quite a bit. If I am going to have time (which isn't often), I'll revisit a cache to pick up a TB or I'll try to bring one back with me and put it in one of stable local caches. Some caches are specifically intended for exchanging TBs and encourage revisits. My own personal rule is to not log revisits as finds.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Revisiting caches over and over to get a TB?
Hi all IFISHAZ here,
Ok, well I feel this is a subject that needs some public debate (if it has had debate before, sorry it was before I became a geocacher). 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 been placed and grab it.
Just my opinion, IFISHAZ.
