I'm wondering what some of you can recommend to aid in some puzzle caches, namely, the ability to do circular distances for triangulation(i.e. the type of puzzle that is the spot between the distances of several caches) or the use of different methods of coordinates. I have seen some caches that use coordinate types that for the life of me I couldn't find a way to plot it. Also the whole spherical world vs other methods etc. I'm new to the whole puzzle cache game and someone mentioned that there is some good software for it, but I can't recall the name. Thanks for any help!

Well i just released my first trackable just this weekend into one of my own caches. Later someone logged into my cache and also said that they took the coin. I waited for two days and the member still hadn't logged taking the coin.. Since it was my coin and my cache I knew for sure. I simple sent the member a message saying "don't forget to log the coin! :-D" I didn't want to sound rude or impolite so I tried to add the smiley lol.. Anyway it seemed to work as the next day the member had logged the coin.

I'd say that if you know you're going to be able to drop it into its destination cache within a month - great - no problem. I personally don't start worrying about my TBs until they've been held for 6-8 weeks with no movement but as an extra courtesy you could post a note on the TB's page to let the owner know what you intend doing. If it's going to be with you for "a month or two" but you're able to take it visiting in the meantime then that's good - I'd be happy with that (without any explanation being given to me by a Note or email). But if someone was going to hold my TB for more than two months, with no movements at all, but they intended to move it on to its destination after that time then I'd appreciate a note to let me know that the TB was safe and what the plans were. (Not that I have sleepless nights due to non-moving TBs but it's just good to know they're OK. ) MrsB Yea I mentioned I would have it for a bit when I first logged retrieving it. Since then I have logged it visiting 30 caches lol and I'll be visiting some more before I leave for its destination cache. Usually if I find something I'll drop it off on the same day or next day, but if not I'll take it on a long hop and drop it off. This is the first cache I'll be holding on to for a while simply because I'll have the honor of taking it to its goal location.

What about if you have a TB that wants to go somewhere and you will be going to that place in a while such as a month later? I have one in my possession that wants to go to seattle and i'm going there in a few weeks. I have been keeping the TB in with me on other excursions and it is visiting lots of caches, so the owner knows that it isn't just sitting at home. I feel bad that I'm holding on to it but I will be taking it to its final destination in short order. So my question is, is it ok to hold onto a bug for a longer time if you intend to get it to its destination. like a bug wants to go to another country and you happen to be travelling there in a month or two? Should I move it along anyway or hold onto it for a long time, though 'visiting' other caches with it.
