I've only got a few caches logged under my belt, but it seems that this specific type would have some definite disadvantages. The first being that once a month not only would the geocache owner have to place it, but then they'd have to retrieve it. By my count that's 12 placings and 12 removals a year. The second thing would be either an overabundance of cachers searching for an item in a particular location on a particular day, or no one showing at all because they either don't want to go through the trouble of clearing their calendar to set aside a specific day, or they may believe that they have to compete with dozens of other cachers. Then there's the whole issue of having to wait out the other cacher/muggle to leave. Sigh. That's just my opinion. There might be some people that like the idea. I commend you on wanting to add something to the game. But ideas can always be improved on. Nerissa

It'd be even more fun to attach a travel bug to the newbie and then hide him in a cache...

Well, you'd think I'd know better, but I've been off caching alone before, and since I'm spontaneous I didn't bother to tell anyone where I'd gone to. And I'm a girl. My last solo hunt I was nearly discovered by a couple of guys offroading, but I leapt behind some cover and hid until they were well away. I don't even remember having my cell phone with me then either. Sigh. I do most of my caching with a buddy, but once in a while I get that itch... Nerissa
