[My First Cache]

Before I go, I print out everything I can possibly get on the cache including all logs and photos. A lot of people leave good hints in their logs. I just joined in the beginning of November and am totally addicted. Even hid my own first cache today! Got loads of activity already! Love it! Welcome to the incurable geocachers anonymous!

[If My Bug Was Looted, Should I ...]

I would definitely call the parents and ask them if they could please return the TB. I too would offer to pay the postage. If the parents have any morals at all, they will return it without delay at their own expense since it was their kids that stole it in the first place.

[Taking Bugs When You're Not Helping the Goal]

When I see a TB, I read the goal tag. If they have no tag and I did not expect them to be there via my cache page printout, I just move them to another cache. Some of the descriptions say that the TB in question just wishes to travel. I put the TBs in what would appear to be a heavily accessed cache hoping that another kind soul will assist with their travels. =BK

[To Bag Or Not To Bag Others' Bugs]

I have found a few TBs but have only bagged those that were fragile or in danger of being damaged if not bagged. I do this out of kindness, not out of intent to alter one's TB. I have a mini-beanie TB and would highly appreciate it if someone else took good care of it.

[How Many Cache Alone?]

My DH would rather veg in front of the TV than go out for fresh air and exercise. He says I'm obsessed but I say it's FUN!!!

[Does One House Need Two Gps's?]

Definitely! There are days that I go caching on my lunchhour and my DH is not around! There are days that I am in LA and he is in San Diego and he goes caching down there and I go caching up in LA. It's really fun to compare our finds and our adventures! -BK
