Mike's comment, "I guess it was up to the individual" is the point i was =

Bac= k in the day, we use to have event caches that were set up for the
event.=
These were placed with all the rules as a regular cache. Therefore, = they
were .1 mile from the next cache, etc... We didn't want to leave= these as
permanent for various reasons. However, those that wanted t= o log them, did
so. Nothing wrong in logging a cache that you sign th= e log book for and as
long as it follows all the guidelines of GC.COM= =2E Well, people starting
abusing it. I believe Geowoodstock was the = first place where you could log
a
person walking around that had a GC= # on their shirt, car, ear rigns, etc..
It became even more abusive = across the country so we banned it.
Temp Caches were designed to = enhance an event. Not stack numbers. If I
walked 20 miles to get 30 t= emp caches, I felt I could log them. Others
wouldn't log unless they = had a GC number assigned to them. I guess it was
up
to the individual= =2E

The whole idea of dropping= and retrieving TBs and coins "for milage" is

I agree with Kevin. I've b= een deleting this thread when it popped up

The TBs weren't in the caches, they can't be log= ged 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 :-(
