The whole idea of dropping and retrieving TBs and coins "for milage" is
foofooed but generally accepted. Personally I've never understood it and =
would
only drop a bug if i left it behind. How about distributing printed pages=
of
coins at events for people to discover even when they never actually touc=
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=3DGCKQ54&log=3Dy
And how did so many people log GCKAH3 50+ times in one day? Some of them =
i
recognize as SLAGA Leadership Team and premier area cachers. I know their=
logs
say MOGA #1 Moga #2 etc, but, if all these MOGA caches were not published=
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=
g
honour among thieves ....

"Adam, wouldn't you like to have a taste of this luscious-looking apple?"=
-- I'm sure the story went something like that.
I agree with Kevin. I've been deleting this thread when it popped up once=
,
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=A2 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 :-(
