I can tell you that the kms have even themselves out and they are all meant to be after deleting the logs I tried to fix up. Still missing the cache I forgot to originally on some but I just going to keep them how they are now. Now that the kilometres are the same like they were before.

I have a few geocoins that I have been too scared to place out into the world so I set the mission that they would stay with me visiting caches. There are about 4 on my list like this and they were at the same km but 3 of them were missing a cache I did a series of 7 caches I did in a day. I thought I would add a note and try to fix the issue, it mucked up the kilometres on the 3 coins because the new note put it at the end of the day and not when I found it so it threw everything else out. So I deleted the note on the cache and the logs for those three geocoins but that has not put them back to the original kilometres they were. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I don't know if anyone can help me on here or if I am allowed to do this but I need some test players for my first adventure lab. It's in Newcastle NSW Australia. I am still fairly new to geocaching so I haven't made anyone I am close enough to test it. Once I get some response if I am allowed I can send you the test link. The Adventure lab is about mural by a certain artist and there is some driving involved but not much.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I trusted the process and didn't get the travel bugs before my trip to Brisbane. Just before New Year's Eve, I got notifications for both travel bugs that they were picked up in person by the same player. So lets just see where they head off next.

Thanks for the tips. Yes, it has not been quite a month yet. I am presuming they have not been found yet because they still coming up in the caches I left them in and one of those caches has not been found since I did. The interesting thing was I had chosen them because they had fairly regular traffic to them before I logged my finds of them. Both of the caches I just checked were placed in 2022 and one did get found after me. But the person who found it seems from what I understand just started with their grandson and that cache was their second find so they might not have understood what a trackable was.

Thanks for the tips. I was in the middle of the review process but part of the issue was I didn't get to go back to double-check my co-ordinates as part of the review process much longer than I planned to because for a week I was caught up doing Christmas ice show final rehearsals and performances when the review asked me to clarify some information. 1. I think I didn't camouflage it enough. But I had labelled it enough with a cache label and note 2. It's hard to explain the GZ but, it was very accessible for many people from multiple ways. it was right near the playground so many people could access it Especially kids. 3. @barefootjeff From what I read I was coming up with a similar conclusion about council-managed public spaces which my chosen GZ was. 4 If I were to use that park again, I would have to make it smaller and move places in the park. 5. I had a different park in mind before but I do have doubts about it so I went with this one instead. 6. I am presuming about the stolen thing just because it can be high traffic at times. 7. I am going to an event on Boxing Day, my first ever one so I can talk to some others. From what I know Team737 are going to it. But I do want to go back to the drawing board about my first hide.

I put my first two travel bugs into caches a month ago. The caches I picked because they seemed to have been found fairly regularly so I thought they would be moving on quickly but no one has found the caches since I put the travel bugs in them. When should I be worried? I would like them to get started on moving. I am tempted to rescue one as I am travelling to another state (I live in NSW, Australia and I am visiting QLD) 3 days after Christmas so should I do it? One is trying to go to Norway while the other is trying to go to Scotland.

I feel so down. I was excited to do my first ever hide which hid at a local park less than 1km from where I live, I had even bought an unactivated FTF nano coin that I put in the cache.. With it being Christmas/ December I had been caught up with certain activities that took me away from returning to cache soon to double check my co-ordinates for the listing so the reviewer could publish it. So I went down there today to do it and the cache was gone. No sign of it. It had been stolen even though it was clearly labelled and had a cache note in it. I am not ready to replace the cache and I am second-guessing my hide so I achieved the cache. I am too nervous about hiding a new cache. I wanted to have a very easy hide for geo-kids and geo-families to find as there aren't many around my city that's one of the reasons I chose that park plus there was a gap in the map around where I live. The fact it was also so close was another factor. I had another park that most don't know of that is close by in the other direction that is hidden down a laneway but I am even more nervous now after what just happened with the first cache. Any tips for first-time hiders? I just know I need to be more creative with my hides. I think it was too easy and too exposed (the hide that was stolen was hidden behind a retaining wall behind the playground in the park which you could easily access.

I ended up taking the travel bug with me to the zoo trip. I had a cache in mind but, I struggled to find it. It was the end of the day when I went looking for the cache and I still had several hours of travelling by myself home on some different forms of public transport so I ended up DNFing the cache (the worst thing was I had messaged the person who found it before me and got the message reply after I left). I ended up squeezing it into a smaller cache not far from the train station which I was annoyed about because I had to take off his hitchhiking friend to squeeze it in but I am happy that someone found TB the next day and took it with them to a few Sydney caches so far. The cache I DNF was also found the next day so it was my anxiety that got to me in the situation especially when after I read how close I was to it. The trackable in that particular cache was retrieved from the cache by a person who loves helping trackables so that's good. I am just happy that the TB I had, has moved on now in Sydney and I can't wait to see where it ends up next. Also, I have my first two trackables now out there in caches waiting to be found (it's only been a week) and moved on so I wonder how they will go with their missions.

I am extremely new to the game and forgot to flip the code around before the pic, I am sorry about that one. Also, I am still learning about trackables and trying to find the best way to move them on. I do have a trip to Sydney next weekend, hence my question. I have heard of trackables going missing so that's why I wanted to prepare where I put this little guy next because it has been travelling for a number of years and it be great if it could to a new place or back home to the USA. So when I knew I had the trip, I thought it would be a good place to take the trackable because Sydney is more likely to get international and interstate geocachers visiting the area especially because I will be in more tourist areas.

Hi! I am new to these discussion boards so bear with me. I currently have a trackable in my inventory which I had kept a little longer than you are meant to because I am heading to Sydney, Australia next weekend. The trackable has been stuck in my region (2 hours north in Newcastle) for roughly about a year. I think it deserves to see other places as I don't want it to be stuck like it was early on in its journey where it kept going back to Germany for a few years even though it visited other countries with the people who found it I am heading to Sydney and placing it in a cache near Taronga Zoo as I am heading there for my Mum's birthday. I am just wondering if that is the best plan for this little travel bug because I would like to see it move on from the Hunter region instead of just jumping from cache to cache here. Even though it has been to Sydney briefly. I presume it's more likely to be found by international geocachers and ones from out of state? Any tips? Do you think it is a good plan? I have kept the logs up to date mentioning to the owner of my plan of dropping it off in Sydney. He also picked up an Aussie hitchhiker friend when we visited my friend SLElliott Forgot to mention its goal is "To travel the world and go on different adventures". It was originally from Wisconsin, United States and has been travelling since 2012.
