[Why Do Many Geocachers Fail To Take Travel Bugs?]

I'm new to caching. I only have 8 finds so far.

When I first read about a TB I thought it was the greatest thing. I ordered one even before I found my first cache. I couldn't wait to make my bug and get it moving.

Now, I'm reading this forum and thinking a TB may not be a good thing. Did I just waist my money buying the tags? I hope not.

 

I want to put my bug in circulation . What is the best wording to put on a bug to help it move? I read the move me anywhere ones don't get moved much. I've read destination bugs don't move because they have a destination. What wording works best to keep a bug moving?

 

Thanks.

I bought some 2300 mah Panasonic batteries with charger at Costco. They last an incredibly long time ! I have an old Garmin GPS12, it would eat AA alkaline batteries. These 2300's last ALL day. I snowmobile a lot. I turn the GPS on at lets say 8AM. I Never turn it off all day and use the light after dark. At 8 PM it is still going strong. AA alkalines couldn't handle this. The 2300's do...

They also last way longer than anything I tried in my digital camera, which eats alkalines in short order too.

Cheers

To me, the find and solving the puzzle would be worth it as long as I knew that ahead of time. I have enough "stuff" now, so signing a log book is fine by me.
