Must be nice to have internet connectivity in the field, or even another family member that understands roving about the land looking for planted tupperware. I agree that prompt logging is important. In my case I unfortunately have neither. Since Travel bugs occasionally involve travelling, I thought that logging it by the next day while far from home was doing pretty good, but it obviously was not quick enough. However, after contacting the finder, all has been logged correctly. So the moral I've learned from all this is to save the tag number in case of such events. Cheers, 'Slug

Thanks to all for the solution - it seems clear to me now. I'll contact the current holder as suggested to let them know what I will do before I do it. 'Slug

Here is a situation I've found myself in, and I'm wondering what if anything to do about it. I searched for the answer to this question, but I'm as good as searching for info on the net as I am at finding 3-star geocaches. Shortly before leaving California for an vacation in Wisconsin, I happen to find a TB that wants to visit as many states as possible. So I take it along and drop it in cache, but I don't get to log it until 2 days later, due to lack of internet access during my travels. In the meantime someone else finds it and logs it. So when I logged my visit to the cache, the TB is no longer in my inventory. I left a note on the TB page, but apparently the distance travelled and the fact that it was ever in this cache will not be accounted for. What, if anything, should I do about this? I want some credit for advancing this TB along it's way. Relevant links: TB: USA 4x4 Travel Bug Cache: Cafe' Cache'
