+Brassine Family Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I know we have our FTF junkies out there. But what about TB/coin junkies? My question is this, is it alright to go to a cache you have already been to, to pick up a tb or coin to log it and pass it onto another cache? Is it against GC rules? or is it not considerate of others for me to do this? some of the TBs I have picked up and been logged as being there for a month or more. So far all the TBs I have gotten are from caches that I have found for the first time. Also what about taking two of them? If that is wrong then I am guilty. One cache I went to had two TB items in there and I took them both. One was released less than 24hours later. the other has a specific goal so I have had that one for 2days. And on the one I have now, I contacted the owner telling them to give me upto 5 days to place it since they have special wishes. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Travel Bug forum. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 No problem - just log your 2nd (or greater) visit as a "note". Feel free to take as many as you can help with thier missions. It is always a kindness to help out Travel Bugs. Quote Link to comment
+J-Way Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Not against any "rules". And if you can help the TB fulfill its mission this practice is encouraged. And yes, there are TB "junkies" (your word), who might rush to a cache to add a new icon. Ignore them. Quote Link to comment
+Brassine Family Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 So there is no rule stating that I am prohibited from returning to a cache to pick up a TB that has be placed there. As long as I keep the TB going. Quote Link to comment

+Brassine Family Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for the information. As you can tell, I'm still a little wet behind the ears. Quote Link to comment
+JennM Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I often drop small TBs or coins in a cache outside where I work (cache belongs to another cacher)... I "write note" to make the drop. I've never logged a find on that cache since I helped the owner place it. I would think the same would apply for picking up a bug in a cache you've already logged - just "write note" to grab the traveler and help it on its way. JMO Jenn Quote Link to comment
