Geocache Description:

A TB Challenge. Place a very new TB, or one that's been somewhere very old. Or both!

Recently, I had a chance to go caching in Ontario and New York. I visited the oldest cache in each province/state. (Ontario: Deer Bait, New York: The Spot) And oddly enough, in each cache, I found a brand-new travel bug, which had not gone anywhere.

So that gave me the idea for this challenge. In order to log this cache as found, you must drop off a travel bug in this cache. The travel bug must satisfy one or both of these conditions:

1. It must have visited a cache that's more than ten years old. Obviously, as time goes on, this means that more and more caches will be eligible.

2. It must be either brand new, or making its first trip. So if you pick up a newly launched travel bug, you can drop it off here to see it on its way.

In your log, please provide a link to the bug you are dropping that qualifies for the challenge.

I'm seeding the cache with the two bugs I found at the very old caches, both of which fulfill BOTH rules.

Now, I don't want bugs to languish here because people aren't doing the challenge, so I will periodically remove bugs if they aren't budging. Also, please feel free to come visit to drop off or take bugs even if you don't meet the challenge - you just don't get a smiley for that! (Just use the "write note" function.) Note: The cache IS at the posted coordinates, but there was a lot of bounce the day I placed it. I took a bunch of readings and averaged them, but there's no shame in using the hint.
