I'm fishing for opinions.
Cathy and I have just returned from a cruise around the southern tip of South
America. I had some bugs and coins with me that I wanted to trade, or at least
get them some mileage. The geocaching turned out to be a big disappointment.
We visited four countries and travelled over 4000 nautical miles over fourteen
days, and in all that time we were only able to log one virtual cache. The
locatiions of the caches in relation to our ports of call just weren't
conducive to geocaching. (As a side note, we substituted the time we would
have spent looking for caches with time spent looking for our luggage. The
airlines lost it and it didn't catch up with us until day nine of the cruise.)
My question is this.... Would it be acceptable to log the bugs and coins in and
out of the cache nearest to our ports of call so that they can get credit for
the miles traveled even though I did not find the caches. In some cases the
closest I got to a cache was 20 or 30 miles. Naturally I would log these as a
note and would not claim a find for myself.
Let me know what you think.
