My kids and I have 4 TB's out in the world right now. Most are racking up the travel miles. Unfortunately, I realized that we didn't "drop" them off at a cache near our house before we actually dropped them in a cache while we were on vacation. So instead of their miles travelled being based on distance from home, they are being calculated from whichever cache we initally dropped them off in. How can I go back and "drop" them off at a cache nearby so the miles are tracked correctly? I tried to do this with one that has been in someone's posession for several months (it only had 2 log entries -- my dropping it off, and someone retreiving it). It let me grab it from that person, so I did. Then I went back and dropped it off and retreived it from a cache near my house. Problem solved i thought, but now it isn't showing any miles travelled. Does anyone have any advice for fixing this? My other 3 TBs have many more logs and I don't want to screw them up trying to fix it.

Hey everyone, Family and I are just starting out in geocaching. We don't have any finds yet, don't have any hides yet, but are excited to do both on our upcoming vacation. We tried finding a couple within a mile of our house, but it was a "bad day" for the kids when we tried, and they lost interest. Several months have passed, and they are all excited about finding them again. As part of my planning out our travel route and things to do along the way, I looked up almost 200 caches. While I don't intend to stop to get them all, we do intend to stop at all the ones at rest stops. Several of these have TB in them. My question is this, I have 4 of my own TB's that I want to drop off in exchange for picking up whatever may be at these other caches. It may take me a day or two to log that I dropped them off and to log the ones that I picked up. Many of the places will have internet access, so it won't be more than a day or two. Reading some of these posts, my TB's that I drop off could have moved on to several different places before I even get the chance to log that I dropped them off. What do I do so that they get logged correctly? I plan to hold onto the ones we pick up and drop them off in new caches and log them on days when I will have internet access at night. Is that acceptable? It would never be more than 2 days. Also, I read that many TBs have a goal sheet with them. What is this and should mine also have one? What do they look like, and what infomation is on them? Thanks
