Trading is for items in the cache. Travel bugs don't count in that. Best to think of them as a separate game.

 

If you find a bug by happenstance and you don't know its mission ahead of time, you have two options (either are generally OK).

 

1. Leave it alone.

2. Take it with you.

 

If you take a travel bug, log in into GC.com, as soon as possible so that its progress can be recorded and so that the listing of the cache won't be inaccurate. From the travel bug tracking link on the main page, you will get transferred to the bug's page. There you will be able to read the mission and figure out how best to help the bug along it's mission.

 

There are really only a handful of "bozo no no"'s when it comes to travel bugs.

1. Not logging it when you find it.

2. Not moving it after you take it.

3. Doing #2, and not telling the owner of the TB.

4. Putting a TB into a cache that will virtually garauntee that it will fail in its mission.

 

(BTW: A bozo no no is something that only a true bozo would do.)
