A similar example is when I had a coin recently that wanted to visit universities, but the local caches at them were micros that it wouldn’t fit in, so I “dipped” (drop and retrieve the same visit) the coin in a couple of those caches to visit Lawrence and the UW-Fox Valley Center and dropped it in a cache down the street a short distance from one of the schools. I figured it was helping accomplish the stated mission similar to when someone dips one of my travel bugs or coins in a cache for mileage while moving it along when on a trip towards its goal, if it has one, or in a great cache or spot just for the photo opportunity. I had one of my TBs dipped in the Mississippi State Geocachers Association letterbox cache this past week just to have “visited” that cache en route to a coastal location, and it’s a nice gesture to have that happen. I’m sure those kinds of stopovers are appreciated by most trackable owners, and a photo of the visit adds a nice touch too.
