Sounds like a great idea! It should have a goal of visiting the Amazon or a banana farm in the tropics, too! great idea! thanks! I'm liking a 'banana farm in the tropics'

thanks!

me too! I'm on internet explorer, haven't got round to looking at any other server! I thought it was just my pc playing up!

I found one that was travelling from Perth Scotland to Perth Australia! I've got a monkey I'm about to set free ... thinking maybe it needs photos of bananas?

I know its nothing new, but I set a TB off a year or so ago ... it travelled well and then was placed in a cache. Then I had a random email, I thought came through geocaching.com saying they had bug and would move it on ... but never logged as found and when several months later I contacted CO ... TB not there! never been seen since, and despite going through all emails etc from when it was placed to contacting CO, I can't find this random email! I've been given several other TB, some very cute animal ones, and I'm plucking up the courage to set them free! but its hard knowing they are likely to go missing! thinking of putting a tag on them saying 'PLEASE' pass me on! not expecting any advice or sympathy, just needed to share with people who understand !!! my family do think I'm slightly obsessed!

I have an etrex10 and despite having had it for 18mths, I'm still learning how to use it! I have been able to download geocaches using the USB cable, but I tried the other day and it said its couldn't detect the 'plug in' ... so I tried to install it again, but it said i already had! ... but it won't work at all with the USB now! I used it 10 days ago and it took a while to 'notice' that the cable was plugged in, it then worked fine an d i downloaded lots, but ran out of time to put all the ones i wanted on ... I have now had to add them individually by hand! very tedious. I did wonder if it was my USB ports, but I've been able to use other USBs in them with no problem!

I've got the same problem with my garmin. it tells me it isn't recognised and to download the latest plug in ... which I did quite a while back and it was working fine! last time it took a while to 'find' the garmin and today it doesn't want to find it at all, which is an absolute pain, as I want to go somewhere that I already know my phone doesn't work so well! so will have to manually insert the co-ords! and the 'add GPX' button isn't available for me.

See the info on this page about "Dropping off a Travel Bug": http://www.geocaching.com/track/howto.aspx It's usually best to wait til a cache is active before placing/logging a Trackable item. thank you my cache has just been published and I remembered how to do it !!! just being dense! thanks again x

I am sure I already know the answer, but I can't work out/find how to do it !!! I have just got my first travel bug - activated etc and have placed in the first cache I have set ... I have submitted my listing for review ... I wondered if I could list my travel bug as 'resident' to the cache before it was published ... but I can't see how to do it ... I've now looked at other caches and can't see/remember how I log a travel bug if I find one! let alone, how to set one free! (i'm guessing that I need to wait until listing is published to add a travel bug?) help please - in words of one syllable! thank you!

thank you x

thank you x

ARGHHH! i'm confused! as far as I know I have 'tracks' turned off. I have some caches showing as 'found' some caches are marked found, but are showing in the main list and I can't find anyway of deleting them! sorry for bugging people, I have asked this question elsewhere this afternoon, but I am getting frustrated at having caches for places i'm not going to again ( and ran out of time to look for ) taking up space. I have an etrex 10 and I have to say, i'm not finding it very user friendly! thank you xx

hope someone can help, as I have the same sort of question! its taken me a while to get the hang of the etrex 10 ( and i'm not sure I have really! ) I put a load of caches on for my last holiday and now I am home I want to take them off - those I found and those I didn't have time for :0( I've tried looking in the settings and everywhere, but I can't work out how to delete caches! thanks x
