SucklingSeekers

I was originally in the "any log is a good log" but now I have a few more out there in the world, I'm can see how annoying pages of visit logs must be. TBH it's nice to see where they went but we don't need a log at every GC in a power trail. Although phone apps are responsible for some of this. A tab on the TB log to filter to show visits or not would definitely help. And as for people collecting TBs visiting them to various GCs for year and never dropping them, I do wonder if some of them just don't understand TBs. The wording on some says "keep me moving from cache to cache" ... perhaps they think they are singly responsible for this process? Or perhaps it's just a case of any activity justifies keeping the TB in their collection.

We recently released one of ours into a popular GC that had lots of visitors and after a while of hearing nothing I too started to suspect one of the newbies hadn't realised what it was and had mistaken it for swag, but then we had a few discover logs - from people saying they had seen it but couldn't help it with it's mission, and last week someone finally picked it up and it's traveling with them for a few weeks. Also, worth mentioning that sometimes TBs in large GCs also fall to the bottom and get mixed up with the swag. We found a large ammo tin over the summer with two Geocoins in there, but they were mixed in with some plastic 'pirate gold'. We took one to move on and placed the other in the clear baggy that held the log and despite having sat undiscovered for a year, someone picked it up the very same week and moved it on.

I picked one up yesterday, with Mission attached - it wanted to be photographed with "dogs around the world". Now... we don't own a dog, but having checked the logs online it hadn't moved in a month so brought it home, photographed it with our cat and will hopefully either be photographing it with our friend's dog before dropping it in a cache or passing it on to a fellow GCer who owns a dog. Really hoping owner will appreciate the humour intended behind the cat photo (if not they can always exclude it from the gallery) and our efforts to keep it moving. ps- our own first TB has so far failed to move or be discovered by any of the last 4 people who logged at the GC we dropped it in, but it's only been a few weeks and I'll be grateful when it moves at all.

I know it's an old post, but thank you for this, I can finally import PQs!

We're very new to Geocaching, (actually, only started 9 days ago), and found our first TB in a GC while on holiday and brought it back to the other side of the country and are now looking to release it. We also have a TB of our own we plan on activating and releasing. What makes a good drop GC for a trackable? What should we be looking for? -Popularity? -Frequency of visitors? -Favourite points? -Size? -Other factors? The TB we retrieved wanted to go to the Algarve and back to Oxford, it's close to being back in Oxford but only made it as far as Jersey. Contacted the owners to see if they wanted to retrieve it themselves before we send it on it's way, as that seemed good etiquette.
