cache
owner that the cache is there still. Also there are some travel bugs
that are a
game in itself, like the Wyle Operatives. I'm yet to be convinced
people taking
the bug out of a cache causes anyone harm. I think far more harmful
are those
who hold onto bugs for too long or who take them but can't figure out
how to
record on the web site that they took them.
I tell
you what IS dissapointing in my opinion. Finding a travel bug in Rocky
Point
that wants to go to England. Asking the bug owner if they mind me
holding on to
it for 2 months until I go over there. Taking it over there in my hand
luggage
so the airline can't lose it. Waiting for the day I can go caching to
put it
somewhere. Going out on the most awful English summer day you can
imagine to put
it in a cache that is behind a mountain of sea buckthorn that I had to
wade
through and get soaking wet. Then finding out the cache was stolen
along with
the travel bug some time after our visit. :(

Revisiting caches over and over to get a TB?Ok, I
could probably see that if the person was helping maintain the cache
it could
be ok, but without naming names, I know of a couple of cachers who
do not help
maintain the cache, doesn't even log on the cache page taking of the
bug (only
logs to the bug page), makes no trades for the bug thus lowering the
inventory
of the cache. Hense showing only an interest in getting bugs out of
the cache
with not much concern for the cache or cache owner. This is where I
am having
a problem seeing it as ok.Once again just my opinion, IFISHAZ.
