The world of geocaching is fairly new to me. My son has taken me along to locate a few and he has started a couple new ones of his own. This past weekend my son and I found a Travel Bug inside a geocache to which I said "ohhhhh... what's that?!". Now, I'm hooked on TB's. I have several ideas, I just need to order the tags from Groundspeak.com and I'll be ready to set my TB's free. I travel mostly within the SW region (Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, etc) during wild fire season and will start using my free time (when I have it) to take/leave TB's. This thread has very valuable information for a newbie like me - thank you.
