I too have returned to scenes where I can atone for sins of tripod vibration.
BTW, your "Don't share rocks w/ your tripod legs" reminds me of another humus-covered-forest-floor lesson:
Namely, since deep humus is so springy, don't even think of taking a step near your tripod during exposure. Don't even shift your weight, take a breath, or bat an eyelash. Stay still. Stay very, very still. Better, if you're still enough, the breeze won't see you and try to sneeze on your shot.
