Oow, I like the "dip it in a local cache" idea. Thanks!
We just start them wherever we find a good cache to start them in. There are so many micros these days, and you can't start anything in a micro, so finding a good cache for a travel bug or geocoin isn't always easy. We've started a bunch near home, and others as we travel.
We also pick up others as we drop off our own. We figure if a cache was good enough and safe enough for someone else to leave their coin, then I'll move their coin along on it's journey, and I'll leave one of ours to start it's travels.
But we'll definitely "dip" our geocoins near home from now own - that's a great idea.
Thanks for sharing!
