Thanks, everyone. A while after I posted this I saw that I was able to see it on my profile (I haven't been on this site in a long time so I'd forgotten I can do that). I guess I had subscribed to it so I could track it, but I hadn't gotten any e-mails since I placed it in that cache I thought maybe I hadn't subscribed. But I found it in my profile and looked at the logs, and it hasn't been logged since I placed it in that cache I had it from October 2008-August 2009 when I put it in that cache in California, and someone picked it up two days later. But it hasn't been logged since, and it's been 2 and a half years! I hope it hasn't been lost!

I retrieved a travel bug in Connecticut a couple of years ago and placed it in a cache in Anaheim, CA. I no longer have the number of the bug but I remember the name was May Bear. I'd like to see where it is now, but it seems like the only way to track a bug is by the number. Is there any way to look it up by the name or location? Thanks!

Oops, duplicate post. the site spazzed on me...

Thanks, guys! Yeah, I went back on the way home that day to sign the log. The sad thing was that it had gotten really wet because the pipe it was dangling in had gotten filled up with water. So I could barely read past signatures, and almost couldn't sign it myself. Then I had a very hard time trying to put it back into the tube without it disintegrating!

Ok, cool. One hour and 45 minutes until I can leave work and head on over to sign that log!

Hmm... I wonder then if the log fell out in the pipe? Because nothing came out when I unscrewed the capsule, but there was another smaller capsule inside that was connected to the cap...

Yesterday, I tried to find my first cache. It was within .9 miles from my house, and I knew exactly the location from the description without having to use my GPS. So I went there and looked all over the place for it around the tree that was referenced. The hint was "Keep your eye on the pipe". There were a number of pipes around the tree, but I was looking for something big- a canister something. Plus, I mis-read the description and I thought it was a "take something and leave something" cache. I also should have looked up what a Bison-tube is before I went. Anyway, in one of the pipes, I found a metal ring sitting on top of the pipe, so I pulled it up and there was a wire attached to it with a tiny metal capsule at the end, and I was like, "What the eff is this?" so I unscrewed the capsule, and saw a smaller capsule inside with some kind of stuff in it, but I didn't look close enough. And the thing was wet because there was water in the pipe, so I kind of grossed out, put the capsule back together, and put it back where I found it. Then I proceeded to bushwack with my feet on private property (which I didn't realize at first), while getting attacked by prickers and weeds with fuzzy stuff that stuck all over me. I was there for almost an hour and was totally bummed out when I thought I didn't find anything. But I've been wondering about that metal capsule thing ever since, and why would something like that be in a pipe. And in the comments from people who found it, someone mentioned two days earlier that the log was wet... so then I wondered more about that capsule inside the pipe that had water in it. And I decided to look up what a bison tube was.... and I can't believe I had found it and didn't realize it!! I can't wait to go back after work today and sign the log. And by the way, how is there a log stuffed into that tiny tube? Is it just rolled up in there?
