Here is one of the lamest ones I've found... Glow Bug 2! Of course, mine is the coolest (I think!). Traveling Rescue Medic 557

I saw a cute one that myself and the misses wanted to grab. It was taken away just hours before we got to it! Bummer!

I've been looking around at all the different travel bugs out there. People have some crazy things like bricks and even cars. But what is one thing that has not been made into a travel bug yet? Is there anything that could not be used as a travel bug, regardless of size or weight?

I do a little bit of both scenereos. My most recent creation is a TB made from an old hand-carved wooden Paramedic statue that has been in my posession since 1998. Traveling Rescue Medic 557 I just hope that someone responsible finds it each time and it doesn't come up missing. It's not expensive or anything, it's just something that I've had for a long time and would hate to see it get lost.

I've ordered one before and it arrived within about a week or so. Then, unfortunately, it went MIA after being released. USA Geocoin Good times.

Yes, me too. My very first (and only) Geocoin went MIA recently.

I wonder how some of these travel bugs actually travel with their weight! All of mine are, well, small and lightweight.

My brand new geocoin ended up MIA just a day or two before I left it in a cache. And I have a real good idea who took it and didn't log it. I haven't seen it since.

Well, yeah ... look at the terrain and difficulty! Needless to say, if this one was any closer to where I live, I'd likely be the FTF.

Hey! I know what that is! It's a Microtainer; they're used in hospitals to collect blood specimins! (All these years as an EMT and this idea never came to me!)

Please no music on a page! (I don't know why someone invented it, but I wish they didn't.)

I was thinking about this, but what if someone finds it and takes a photo of something that shouldn't have a photo taken of (if you know what I mean)? Then I'm the one to blame when I get it developed!

Didn't work for me. I'm a die-hard PC user and don't have Quicktime. Sorry.

Make sure you let ME know about any such caches so I may be the first to find.

All my GPS units are Magellan; they range from $100 to $3,500. Never had any problems!

LogBook hehehe Yes, of course!

I'm putting together a brand new geocache. I want it to be the best one yet; as far as contents are concerned, at least. What are your ideas of things you'd like to find? Nothing too expensive, yet, nothing too boring.

What works is to stand as close as possible for several moments and take the reading. It's best to do this on a clear day. That's what I do and it works fine. You don't have to be right on, but within a few feet is all good. Nobody ever gets it right on; GPS units differ greatly. Generally the ones I find come within about 10 feet or so. It's no big issue if you're not directly on it.

Some people do; others don't. There are no rules either way, really.

Ah! Now THAT is what I'm talking about! Wouldn't that be a nifty feature?

Okay

hahaha Yes, maybe so.

I think it would be neat if we added an average speed calculation to travel bugs much the same way that WheresGeorge does. Any ideas or am I way too far out on this one?

Hey! That's seriously cool! Thanks, I'll keep a copy of the program on my computer then.

I'm thinking about investing in some night vision gear just for this very purpose you mentioned here.
