    Souvenir popping early?

    in GeoTours & reward geotrails

    Posted

    I have been working on the Berea GeoTour for years. At the risk of the souvenir being deleted from my profile, I am asking to see if there is some insight in how the souvenirs are awarded. The tour has 150 caches but some have been archived over the years and replaced with new ones annually at the event. I was cleaning up some leftover ones yesterday when the souvenir appeared for completion. I wonder if it just awarded me the souvenir once I had reached 150 of any cache found that had been part of the tour over years. Has anyone else exprienced this?

    Absolutely. As someone up above said, when you buy a dogtag TB, it COMES WITH a replacement tag because of the expectation that it'll disappear. You can either send out the 2nd tag or use the number on it to create something else that's identifiable as long as it has the number and says "Trackable at Geocaching.com."

     

    The scarab icon is what attracts attention in traffic or in a parking lot, so it's important in your case. Make it BIG, too!

     

    You can take your number and have it put on a t-shirt or a hiking vest! Everybody you encounter will see it.  Hiking stick badges are common, too. Screw it to a stick and wield it until you break the stick, then get another stick.

     

    The point is, when you buy one (tag or sticker or badge, etc.) you're buying the number. What you put that number ON doesn't much matter, as long as it meets the minimal requirements.

     

     

    Thank you. I'll see about getting something printed to stick on my window. I bought a Subaru Outback basically for the express reason for caching so I should deck it out.

    The visible number is yours; you can put it on anything you like.

     

    If it was a sticker, you can just put it on another sticker and put it on your new car!

     

    There are all sorts of ways to print up a sticker or have one printed for you.

     

    If it was one of the vinyl cling things, you get that material an print it yourself on a home printer.

     

    Whatever you do, try to get the scarab icon, of course. If you look on the main GS site at the bottom, under "LOGO USAGE GUIDELINES", several icon collections are available, but not for the TB scarab. Contact HQ and they may share it with you.

     

    Watch out for fade-ability in the sun; you may end up replacing it every so often.

     

    Was the old car taken off the road, or just sold? Watch the logs you get; they may be from the first sticker. And, you can decide whether or not that's OK.

    I sold it, but I'd bet it was junked anyway. I had put it through the ringer. Do you mean I can just grab the code from my inventory and find another way to display it?

    But you can use it for your next vehicle/plush/keychain/whatever... every TB comes with two plaques.

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean lol. It was just a sticker. If it came with something else that's long gone as well I'd wager.

    My question is that I purchased a new vehicle back in October, so the travel bug I had on the back of my previous vehicle is dead and gone. I don't know how to remove it from my inventory.
