I've been geocaching for over a year and made a recent TB boo-boo! I didn't research the TB before I picked it up. When I got home and logged it, I realized that it was racing other TBs, so it needed to travel a lot of miles in just a few days! Instead of holding it until my next long trip, I just put it in a cache along the interstate, hoping that someone travelling picks it up. I felt pretty silly. I felt a bit better when I read a log entry where a cacher actually took the entire cache with him/her to the home state and had to get it back to where it belonged! At least we were responsible enough to right our wrongs. Perhaps these newbies you're talking about will learn and make things right, too. I hope so!
