Guest DorkyDog Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I just found a travel bug and would like to put it in a cache farther away from here. I'm not going to be far away from here for a week or two. How long is too long to hold onto a travel bug? Quote Link to comment
Guest clatmandu Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 As long as you let the owner know what your intentions are, there is no real time limit. I had one where they said they were going south in a month, so I didn't worry. A month later, it showed up in Tenn. The main thing is communication. Just email the owner. Quote Link to comment
Guest DenaliNW Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I would agree with Clatmandu. Keep the owner aware of your intentions, and I don't think time becomes that big of an issue. Of course, I think keeping a bug for more than a month - communication or not - is a little frustrating for the owner. I speak from experience, as I find myself wondering when two of my bugs will be moving again. They have been in someone's possession for some time now, and even though we have communicated with one another - I'm ready for the bugs to be moving on. Quote Link to comment
Guest Laserman6328 Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 I agree with those that say to communicate your intentions, and follow through if at all possible (comunicate if not). I have one that was picked up over Thanksgiving and not been seen since. Communication with the person who picked it up has also failed. Very frustrating! Quote Link to comment
Guest clatmandu Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 As was said in the last two, if you say your going to place it in a month on a trip, if your plans change, let the owner know. If your going to have difficulty moving it, place it in a local cache to let someone else try to move it further on it's journey. The word to remember is "COMUNICATION' Quote Link to comment
