  7. I'm late to the party on this one (what a surprise!) but it's an interesting query. I think everyone has covered all the angles here except in my case, caching with kids alters the answers. I don't get a chance to go out geocaching often so I'm very selective about the types of caches to search for. TBs add an element to the game that can be very satisfying for folks more interested in the story over the numbers. TBs draw in the interest and can prolong the activity when out with my daughter. 1. Do you prefer to find TB with specific goals... ? I enjoy reading the goals and will factor them into the decision to pick up or not, but just from a practical purpose of can I help or would I hinder the goal. 2. Does it seem to you that TBs with a general goal... ? I agree with many here - doubt many cachers even bother to do more than a cursory skim of the TB info and the fate of the TB simply depends on tendencies of the person that finds it (good intentions or not). I prefer to think of myself as pretty conscientiousness about respecting the wishes of the TBs owner but even so, its not easy to find caches that will hold them. 3. Do you ever specifically search for Geocaches with TBs in them? No, but the possible presence of a TB, particularly if it's an interesting one, can make or break the decision to spend limited geocaching time on a specific cache. I did specifically go after the Lewis & Clark TB back in the day. 4. Does a cache with TBs in its inventory make a cache more attractive to you? See answer above. I rarely will even look at listings for Traditional hides, but a TB inventory combined with FPs will prompt me to open the cache page. TB hotels usually get at least a look - those can be a lot of fun with the kids. 5. Have you ever kidnapped a TB? I agree with others - if you've been geocaching for anything beyond just a beginner, you've likely done this by accident, oversight or mishap.

  9. Apologies for the delay in posting. It has not been a smooth holiday season for me. I don't know what happened to our outgoing missions - no info available. We're packing and sending new missions today. Unfortunately I don't have a direct drop-ship connection to Santa, so they won't get there in time to go under the tree... But we're doing all we can to light a fire under the USPS!

I received a gift: March 22, 2022 from Olympia, WA. Curiously, the package is addressed with BOTH my name and Lil Liveanimals' real name.... Hmmm, someone who knows us from past missions? Now that my mission is complete, can't wait to get into this once Lil returns this weekend! Thanks for the fun!
  20. Sent my info to Laval K-9: March 5, 2022 Name received from Laval K-9: March 6, 2022 Sent my gift: March 29, 2022 Ahhh... Nice not having to rush to get it out for a customs gamble this time around! My gift arrived at destination: I received a gift: March 22, 2022 from Olympia, WA. Won't open until at least my mission has reached its destination!

Several times now, I've made a loose-defined decision to sit the next mission out, and each time you message me directly to "rope" me back in... Don't take that as a negative - I enjoy these missions and the extra nudge gets me off my a** to do it when there really was no good reason not too! Thanks to you and geocharmer for constantly managing these missions.

This was not our best administrative work this year! Lil Liveanimals did her part early on but since I won't let her drive to the post office and she doesn't have much money anyway, she was left dealing with dear ol' dad's issues getting his s* together. But, both were away early this morning and "financially encouraged" to get there on time! Fly, fly little packages... Fly like the wind!
  25. Whoa.... That is a long list!
