Web-ling, that's the same link as the one I just forwarded above. But the additional commentary was nice.

Markwell, I noticed that Scooby and Shaggy are tracked as a moving cache, rather than as a Travel Bug. Is that because they were released before "Travel Bugs" were invented? Zuck

I admire your honesty in telling your story here. I'm glad to hear of your change of heart. Perhaps, one by one, we can make a difference as people first enjoy the hunt, and then start becoming more environmentally conscious and protective.

I'd check in the camping or boating areas of a sporting goods store. I'm sure I've seen small watertight containers (that are bigger than film canisters) somewhere...but I can't remember exactly where. I did a quick search of the Cabelas site and found this container. (It's kind of expensive, though, at $20.) [This message was edited by Zuckerruebensirup on April 07, 2002 at 10:05 PM.]

6. If you have a competitive nature, logging your finds online will make it easy to track your "find count", and compare your record against others.

I agree with Web-ling. Ask Underdog (someone who's close by, and has found it, so should know where to look) to check on it.

I'm a nerd and I'm proud of it. I don't Role Play, but I do enjoy travel bugs with creative stories to go along with their goals. As a travel bug owner, I think it makes it more fun and exciting to watch as they approach and meet specific goals. (For example, my Eensy Weensy Spider is on his way to visit the Bellagio hotel next weekend. It also cracked me up when I read the last log that says just after they closed up the cache, "down came the rain and hail and snow and washed the spider and us out.") I like it when people play along with a bug's story line, instead of just moving it to whatever cache is convenient, without making any comments or taking any pictures. (Sure, miles are nice...but it's even nicer when people take the time to read a travel bug's goals, and make a specific effort to help it on its way.) It hardly seems as fun when someone releases a bug with a goal statement like, "To visit as many caches as possible while travelling around the country." But then, I suppose these kind are easier for the people who pick them up, since there's really no way to go wrong (unless you simply don't put the bug back into circulation at all). And who knows, maybe the people who release those bugs enjoy the "mystery" of seeing where they will end up, instead of restricting people's creativity by stating specific goals. I guess each to his own.

If that's you're idea of "a few", I'd like to see what you consider a lot! I'm curious what the freight costs on an order like that.

Not everything there is necessarily 'in your neighborhood', but since the examples you mentioned are among the ones we gathered on this forum, I thought you might be interested in it.

I think the idea is good, but being based out of Traverse City, I wonder how much participation you'll get. I live between Detroit and Grand Rapids (not too far from Jackson, actually). If there were a local "chapter", I'd definitely be interested.
