Actually, this bug didn't travel back with CCCooperAgency after she visited my area for geocaching. We realized that you cannot take a lighter onto an airplane in your carry-on luggage, so she left the travel bug with me.
I suppose a lighter doesn't belong in a geocache, either, but after removing the flint, I will place it in a cache very soon. If that plan is unacceptable, the bug owner should contact me.
