I'm pretty new to all this only having started in mid-December. However, I always look at the cache sheet before I go out. I look at all the TBs and their missions. If none of them have a mission I may move the one that has been there the longest. I did that with a little girls TB that had been stuck awhile in a TB hotel. It was in a mileage "race" so I put it in a high traffic cache. It worked. It went from KC to VA to UT in a month or less.
If there is a TB with a mission I can help it on, I will grab it and try to help it. I have one now that is waiting in my hands for a about a month until I get to Europe. I emailed the owner and received permission to hold it until then. If I am going to hold a bug for any time so I can help it on its mission I will email the owner and receive permission. I have another one that I will be dropping in Virginia the second week of March.
I failed to drop a TB this past weekend because the cache I had targeted for it was in bad shape. So I'm another person who looks at the cache to see if it will hamper a TB moving or may be muggled. I went about 120 miles out of my way to help another TB get closer to its goal and to visit an area I haven't been to in about 20 years. So sometimes TBs give me a mission to go cache somewhere I wouldn't ordinarily go or think about going. That is part of the fun and I hope I treat any TBs that come my way properly. Or am I a TB junkie?
