Love this forum. Thanks, RBWI, for pointing it out to me.
Besides the fact my beautiful & fun TB "Book of Destinations" was lost along with the cache container in SC - BOO! - and my "Black Flower" got picked up by a first-time cacher who had no idea what I was talking about, I have had major success with a laminated card traveling around Europe! Those Europeans know how to take care of a TB. Thank you very much!!!!
I have a great story about a first-time cacher... Three of us started a TB race from FL to WI. A woman picked up my coworker's and a man picked up mine. Now, remember, they only need to travel 1500 miles north. For some reason, the man decides MINE needs to go with him on his trip to Hawaii. As he is caching along the beautiful shoreline one sunny day, he realizes he lost my TB. Spent three hours or more going back to every location he was at, searched his rental car in and out, his luggage, etc. and determined it was <gulp> LOST!!...as he explained to me in a message. ugh. A few weeks later, I receive another message that he ordered a replacement Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile whistle off eBay, bought a new TB tag for me to activate, and was ready to move it again...on his next trip skiing to Colorado (if you can believe it.) It has not moved since it was covered by an avalanche a few weeks ago. haha At least he's rooting for me to win!
