As others have stated, I am definitely a newbie at geocaching. My family and I have only logged 13 finds - although today we were very happy to find our first multi-cache. Like another poster I did my homework ... after learning about geocaching on vacation from an experienced cacher I read books and every page of the site prior to beginning. I haven't moved travel bugs or coins yet since I haven't found one that I could help with it's goal. I was told that you should do your research prior to touching one . My point is that newbies are not so bad. I look upon every cache very carefully. Not only do I research before going out, but when I get there. I reread descriptions and trackable information while I am there and if I can't help the item along then there isn't any sense in taking it. I am getting ready to release some of my own travel bugs when I find a busy cache. If they get misplaced or collected or lost that is unfortunate, but I can only try my best. I would like them to find their way and to gain some enjoyment from following them on their adventures, but I do understand that unforeseen events might happen. I choose to believe that these events have nothing to with me personally, but are done because the person might not know what the item is for or why the item might be of consequence. I won't take it to heart, but will launch another.
My everyone's caching be wonderful!
