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.
