How do I get cookies back on my computer? Now I have to sign in every time I get onto geocaching. I have everything I could but no luck. Mobdic

Soccer2me travel bug May 10 / 03 And it is now in Western Australia with 45.706 miles

So the travel bug that,s TRAVEL BUG never left the cache.

When you go to an event and there are say 30 travel bugs on a table and there five or ten people copying down numbers is that to let the bug owners know that there bug is at the evelt. He already knows that his bug is at the event. NO it is to PAD there stats I thing we all know that.

I should have said having TBs specifically, not caching as a whole. I've got two coins that I've had for a year, still haven't left them in a cache yet. I just figure that they will either A. disappear B. get discovered endlessly C. their numbers put on one of those printed sheets that gets passed around parties or D. all of the above. grrrr And that is just what they do.

This is refreshing - hearing of one nearing its goal place I have two travel bugs that have traveled many thousands of miles. When they reached there goal I requester that they come back to me. I now have them and they are retired. One I have on my keychain.

I have two travel bugs that have traveled many thausands of miles Once they had reached there goal I requested that they come back to me. I know have them and they are retired.

And if the travel bug does not have a goal does that mean you do not discover it you move it. WELLLLLL I like to release bugs that are cacher interactive. Post a picture (but not required to move the bug) is a big one. I have one that is simply post answers to three questions out of twenty-five or so (Favorite ice cream, etc.). Another that has no goal other than to be moved cache to cache. When someone logs my bug by posting a Discover on my easy to follow TBs, I have to wonder.

I fail to see how a discovery is inconsistent with this purpose. Doesn't a discovery constitute "picking up a story along the way"? WHAT KIND OF A STORY. "I DISCOVERED IT" A story for who, the cacher or the bug? Sorry, I'm feeling snarky. What Discover log has ever been worth sharing? Very few and too far between.

OK let's say there are five travel bugs in a cache and someone discovers all five of them. Or lets say there are ten travel bugs in a cache and someone discovers all ten of them without moveing five feet away from the cache do you think that is right? Boy it sure looks great on your profile. Hello Yes, I think that is "right". Why not? Moving a travel bug five feet away from a cache does not count as "traveling" since there is no way to log this movement. WHAT?

When I first started it buy travel bugs and track them it was a lot of fun. Some of my travel bugs traveled as far as 52.000 miles but when discovering started people began to get a little lazy. They want credit to pad there profile but not take the time to help a fellow cacher to move his travel bug to another cache. It,s not like they are not going to do another cache so why not move it. Can someone tell me why a fellow cacher would not move a travel bug? I have 16 bugs that are out and maybe five have been lost. My plan was to have 25 total but with this discovering I will not waste my money on any more. It was real fun for a some time.

If they discover it they are going to leave it. That is the problem

A story for who, the cacher or the bug? Sorry, I'm feeling snarky. What Discover log has ever been worth sharing? Very few and too far between. A story for either or both. It would be ideal if every log brought joy to the TB owner and to the finder, but realistically most logs are doing pretty well if they bring joy to at least one of those two people.

Leave me try this again. IT,S A T--R--A--V--E--L B--U--G that means it travels from cache to cache.

On the back of the travel bug that we Purchase it states "I go from place to place picking up stories along the way". There is nothing about discovering. "Case Closed"

They should have discovery bugs that people can buy that never move from cache to cache. A travel bug is like the name says T-R-A-V-E-L ---B-U-G that means it goes from one cache to another that is why we buy them and not have them discovered.

I just left a green jeep travel bug today in a cache in central Mass. caller Lillian Cache. So there is still one around. Mobdic

What is this discovering a travel bug. I have 16 travel bugs that would like to go to different states or countries but now all they do is get discovered and not moved. I already discovered them so I would like to see them move out of the cache. This is why they call them travel bugs. "Had to say it". Thanks mobdic
