+whartonia Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Brought home a TB from a day trip about 50 miles away from home. Here are the options, what would you do? Find a NEW cache near home and drop the TB. Find a FOUND cache near home and drop the TB? Hold on to the TB until you're out of town again to gain even more miles for the TB? Place in a cache near home that you know has a high frequency of visitors? Who cares, just drop the dang bug! Quote Link to comment
+ModelCitizen Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I usually try to do option number 4: place it in a cache near home that gets visited often UNLESS I'm planning a trip in the near future (no more than two weeks away). Then I'll probably log it into and out of a local cache, then take it on my trip and drop it in a cache there. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Taking a picture of the bug and posting it on the bug page is a nice thing to do. Since that particular bugs goal is to rack up visited states I would agree with MC's choices. Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Brought home a TB from a day trip about 50 miles away from home. Here are the options, what would you do? 3. Hold on to the TB until you're out of town again to gain even more miles for the TB? Bear in mind the distance the bug travels is CACHE to CACHE, not CACHE to HOME to CACHE. Unless you have a cache at home that you dip the bug in. What this means if you haul the bug home 300 miles and then haul it back out of town 301 miles and drop it in to a cache 0.5 miles from the original the bug only traveled 0.5 miles, not 601.

+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yes. I've done each of the five options at one time or another. If the bug has a very specific mission, and I can get it real close to its goal but will take longer than two weeks (such as it wants to go to Hawaii and I will be there in 3 weeks) I will contact the owner to see if they would mind the slight delay.

You moved it 50 miles or less depending how the crow flies . Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Read the bug page and see what the bug's owner wants you to do with it. Then follow through. The only thing you should NOT do is to never put it back into a cache. Quote Link to comment
