I believe every owner of a travel bug enjoys seeing their bug on the move=
 (even if the bug isn't heading towards its goal).  It's irritating to se=
e cachers grab a bug and hold onto it with the thought that in a few mont=
hs they may be planning a trip and want to take it with them.  It's also =
irritating to TB owners when they notice that someone has placed their bu=
g in a cache that is difficult to get to and doesn't get visited frequent=
ly.

We should think how we would feel if we were the TB owner before we hold =
onto a bug or place it in a cache that may not get a visitor for a few mo=
nths. =20

. . . So, we've been pretty lucky with them so far, but having them spend=
 months in a cache is nothing new...or having them spend months in the ha=
nds of a cacher is nothing new either. =20

36760226 One of my travel bugs has been stranded in the "Rocket Men and M=

Is there anyone willing to pick up my TB and move it along on it's way? I=

Thanks! =20
