Just to update everyone (like you haven't heard this story before)
I have released 3 travel bugs:
#1 - 2 stops then whole cache stolen
#2 - 1 stop then contents of cache stolen
#3 - 0 stops, picked up by a newbee the next day, cache never logged, TB logged as discovered when they grabbed it.
My Average TB lifespan = 1 stop
#4 - how long will it last????????????????????
