 If It was me, I log them all in the v-cache and then log them all out. That
the only cache you did. Just my thought. You just have to hate those trips
where you can't get your geocaching in, dont ya? :) Kevin K-TEAM

Subject: [GeoStL] Geocaching Ethics Question

I'm fishing for opinions. 

Cathy and I have just returned from a cruise around the southern tip of
SouthAmerica. I had some bugs and coins with me that I wanted to trade, or
atleast 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
creditfor 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.
