I assume this has been done before plenty of times. How successful have you been trying to meet your TB somewhere far from home?

So I went paddling on a bayou with some friends last weekend that just happened to be a geocache paddle trail. I forgot my pen like an idiot but still logged 10 or so of the caches on the trail that I got close enough to touch - just didn't sign the log book. Would people consider that not worthy of logging a find as I did? I plan to go back and sign them again at some point.

Hi, Everyone! Relatively "new" cacher, as far as my numbers go. Although I did some caching as many as 4 years ago. Anyway, I just wanted to say that the whole reason I geocache is because I love adventure. I'm the kind of guy who loves to backpack and SCUBA dive and reread the Lord of the Rings year after year. so tramping off into the woods for some hidden treasure makes me feel like a regular Frodo Baggins! I'm sure this is the feeling for a lot of people out there... ADVENTURE! As such, I would say most of the joy of this sport and it's global connectiveness is sharing your adventures with others, especially the people who placed the cache! I don't go looking for a geocache just to find it and increase my numbers, I do it to see and do something new. I'm very glad this thread is so active because I would agree with others in here who feel that this is very important. If there ARE people out there who are just about finding as many caches as possible, I'm not sure what they personally get out of the experience. I hope there aren't really people like that! Get out there, have an adventure, tell us about it, and post pictures! Happy Hunting.
