[Az-Geocaching] Travel Bugs revisited

[Eric Quinn]

I don't think anyone should feel they must grab a bug
but I know that if I had checked a cache that had a
bug and the bug page didn't have appropriate logs, I
would try to get back there. This isn't always
possible because if lack of familiarity with the area
or lack of transportation, or just that I'm leaving
the next day. I think then I would log it as taken
then "place" it the cache I saw it in, just to update
the logs.

You should be commended though for getting in touch
with the owner and letting him know that his bug was
still out there. At that point, he could have logged
the bug into the cache you saw it in. Too bad the next
taker didn't log it.

I don't think that logging a bug sets a good example
for people who don't. I'm of the opinion that people
don't maliciously not log bugs, most do it out of
ignorance or laziness. It's kind of like when people
put nothing into a cache but take stuff out. They
don't conciously think "I'm going to plunder" but it's
the same effect.
