[Logging TB for Miles]

Hi, Quick question for everyone. I brought a TB on a weekend jaunt with my family so that I could log miles for the TB. My plan was to drop it in a cache in Myrtle Beach. The problem I ran into was that the weekend turned out to be much busier than I thought and we were only able to hit 4 cahces, all of which were micro's that I couldn't leave the TB in. I have noticed on some other micro's that people have let notes that say "logging tb" , is this a way to credit the TB with miles traveled even thought I couldn't find a place to leave it?

Squadtech-

 

Yes, see my note above, about the Recovered US Benchmarks category.

 

I guess if I took the time to read and comprehend, it would help out a little!

 

Thanks!

There are gozillions (well, dozens) of DOI-NPS disk in Wash DC and in VA and MD along the Potomac in the National Parks upsteam of Wash DC, and 99.99% of those disks are NOT in either the Geocaching or NGS databases.

 

See, for example:

 

USDI-NPS waymark

 

OK, thanks for the info.

 

So, should this disk be logged anywhere?

Hi,

 

Quick question. The other day I was at a national park here in VA and I found what appeared to be a benchmark type disk in the ground, but I can't find it listed anywhere.

 

Around the outside edge it says "US Deptartment of Interior - National Park Service"

 

and it has the number "850HV04002" and "Unlawful to Remove" stamped in the center.

 

Thanks for your help!

A bunch of us from work have various models of the Garmin RINO GPS/FRS unit. We have found them to be very handy at work and play.

[Attaching Tag To Tb]

Hi,

 

I am relatively new to geocaching and have quickly become addicted! I just recieved my TB Tags in the mail and want to put a couple out into the world. My question is, what do you all recommend as a preferred means of attachment. They came with the adjustable chains, but all of the TB's I have seen so far have used a key ring to attach the tag to the bug. What are your experiences?

 

Thanks!
