The whole idea of dropping and retrieving TBs and coins "for milage" is
foofooed but generally accepted. Personally I've never understood it and =
=3D
would only drop a bug if i left it behind. How about distributing =
printed
pages=3D of coins at events for people to discover even when they never
actually touc=3D hed or saw the coin??
but i feel we're splitting hairs ... so ...
Can someone tell me the story of Steve's LOTEC cache?
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=3D3DGCKQ54&log=3D3Dy=
And how did so many people log GCKAH3 50+ times in one day? Some of them =
=3D i
recognize as SLAGA Leadership Team and premier area cachers. I know =
their=3D
logs say MOGA #1 Moga #2 etc, but, if all these MOGA caches were not
published=3D then there seems to be an appearance of impropriety.
I know it's not a competition, and it's not about the numbers, and i've
contradicted my previous post on this thread, but we seem to be =
discussin=3D g
honour among thieves ....

"Adam, wouldn't you like to have a taste of this luscious-looking =
apple?"=3D
-- I'm sure the story went something like that.
I agree with Kevin. I've been deleting this thread when it popped up =
once=3D ,
twice and then a third time.
The TBs weren't in the caches, they can't be logged as having been there
(unless your name is Foo Foo the Snoo).
That's my 2=3DA2 worth.
It's a shame that they went all that distance and can only log having
visited a virtual cache, but that's what happens sometimes :-(
