Moving TBs while traveling to other states

[+tekkguy]

I picked up two TB's at an event this weekend. They are both in a race (not against each other). I'm flying from Dallas to Phoenix on Wednesday, and I'll do a little bit of caching while I'm there.

 

So ... should I drop the TBs off in Phoenix, or take them round-trip and just dip them while I'm there to give them double the mileage?

 

Would I be helping them 'cheat' in their race, or is that considered kosher?

If it is not your personal TB, you should check with the owner first before dipping.

They just may not want dipping for one reason or another. Too, it is possible that it could violate their "rules" for the race they may be in.

 

Usually is OK, but best policy is to check with owner first.

You don't need to check with the owner to Dip a travel bug, just make sure you are following the rules of the race. Many races have a rule that only one Retrieve and Drop per one cacher will be counted. That prevents someone going Dip crazy putting a bug in first place.

Thanks ... I sent both owners a message on Saturday letting them know the status of their bugs and asking if they wanted me to remove the extra tags a couple of cachers added to them. Haven't gotten a response from either owner yet, but if I do I'll ask about the dipping.

 

If I don't get a response from them, I'll just drop them in Phoenix.

 

Thanks for the advice!
