+bluepigninjas Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I guess this is an etiquette question: I work about an hour away from where I live, and I recently cached at lunchtime and picked up a travelbug and since the "mission" was just to travel around, I brought it about 45miles SW and dropped it off at a cache I own near my house. Just picked up a Geocoin - thinking about doing the same thing since dropping off in my cache will also further its mission. Any etiquette "rules" against dropping GC/TBs in your own cache(s) if it is furthering the GC/TB mission? (Other than it's not very exciting to do it all the time). Thanks! BPN Quote Link to comment
+markandsandy Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 If it furthers the mission, it's perfectly acceptable. Quote Link to comment

+Headhardhat Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I own several TB Hotels and frequent them all the time. Just remember to use "Write Note" when you log it. If you ever see logs that say TB Drop, that is how it they do it. Not an issue at all. -HHH Quote Link to comment

I like the wording on your hotel/motel caches except for the one that says 'Please trade coins even up or better when possible.'

AZcachemeister Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Sure. Why not? It beats the heck out of holding it for six months while trying to find a better place to drop it! Quote Link to comment
+squishaholic Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 It seems like most everyone so far thinks that what you are doing is fine. I usually place travel bugs and geocoins in my cache's since they are planted near my house and commute. I usually leave a note and add in my description "TB Drop" or "Coin Drop". I want to attrack more to my area....there is one cache that many people really enjoy once they are here. Quote Link to comment

A miss typing on my part the content has been corrected. Geocoins and travellers can be traded anyway our cachers would like. My intent was to keep the swag on a higher par by asking people to trade up. Had great success with that so far. Thanks for the comment. -HHH Edited September 19, 2008 by Headhardhat Quote Link to comment

+Pat in Louisiana Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I do this to but I also dip My own T.B.s in my home cache as a starting point when I'm going out of town then drop them when I get where I'm going. Is this also ok? Quote Link to comment

Is this also ok? Eh, well...you should only log bugs through caches they have actually visited otherwise it's virtual logging. If you choose to log with a wink and a nod, I guess that's up to you. Start abusing the system and you will see bugs get locked down. At least that's my understanding. Edited September 20, 2008 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+Pat in Louisiana Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 They do visit it since My home cache is mounted on the wall of my office/shop GC19TFK Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Excellent. I wish I had the same. My closest is a bit of a hike so I often have to re-visit a fellow cacher's cache in a nearby park. Quote Link to comment
