As a so called "Newbie" I have gather two travel bugs, one of which was marked Missing. I have them both sitting in front of me now. I have logged them both with my intentions of taking a road trip with them and dropping them in a cache in an adjoining state yet to be determined. Travel Bugs are made to travel are they not? If an owner messaged me and asked me to send one on its way right away, I would respond that an effort would be made to get it back into suitable cache at my earliest convenience. The family loves it, not to much could ruin it for us.
