As a TB and cache owner, please speak just for yourself and refrain from speaking for me. "all of us" is always a lie! I accept photologs as well!

It's quite a significant difference. I have photologs since July last year, so I can now start to compare long-term alterations.

Hope's position is changing relative to the band from this observation point. Will need to look into this more 2/2 📝

Visiting logs will destroy your travellers "real" mileage. The only way to get rid of those is to delete them manually one by one, which takes time (nerves as well). Many TB owners don't like spoiler pics showing codes either.. Same with CO's, all of us don't accept "photologs" and -spoilers pics 😎
