Yesterday, I received a log on my TB Thunder Chick, TB14PJ0, from Chrisg83...

Blue PelicanI've emailed him and messaged him. No reply yet.
The log is a little cryptic, but I'm hoping he found her.

Sorry. I meant to Congratulate you too. Did you have to drive (or go far) far to get one? Do you have Agent of dusk? I hid 2 agents of Dawn, so have one already.
No Agent Dusk yet. Not many agents were released within 150 miles of me.
The ones that were released usually happened on a week day when I had to go to work.
It was blind luck that my wife and I got to the one in Cedar Rapids before anyone else did. About a 60 mile drive one way. We were going to go toe Cedar Rapids that day anyway.

Congrats on snagging one! Which one did you get? Dawn or Dusk?
I got Dawn.

I snagged first agent today.
Any idea where I can buy the briefcase holder?

Yes, it was the very first video on my geocaching YouTube channel "Geo Elmo Geocaching". I hope you enjoy it!
That was GREAT!
I'd love to see more shorts like this about TB's.

You'll get over it
I enjoy the travel bug game though all but one of the travelers I've sent out have disappeared. I have one currently zipping around Europe right now, and it's fun to see where it has visited. Back in 2017 I entered a film in the geocaching film festival that was about the travels of a trackable, including the poor thing getting lost and forgotten, but eventually rescued by an alert canine. It was called "A Travel Bug's Life", I think it was a decent video.
Enjoy the TB game. Eventually you may want to send some out, just remember once it's out of your hands, you have no control over its fate. Want it to go to a certain place? Maybe it will, maybe it'll go somewhere else completely, maybe it'll disappear. It's a gamble but it's fun.
Did you post the film online anywhere? I'd love to see it.

There is a Jeep TB in a cache local to me. The TB is fixed into the cache container as part of the theme.
Surprisingly the original Jeep TB has been there, intact, for 15 years now.
Take picture of it and post it here.
Block the 6 digit code of course.

I try to use muggle, but find I slip on occasion and say muggler. I don't think people who use muggler are trying to merge muggle and mugger, rather I think they (intentionally or not) are thinking of muggle as a verb, and then figureing one who does that gets an "-er" added to the end:
I farm, therefore I'm a farmer.
I bike, therefore I'm a biker.
I muggle, therefore I'm a muggler
I race, so does that make me a racist? LOL

And the largest predator ever was "an old dinosaur".
As I would joke with the kids back when I worked with teens "you may get bigger than me, you may get stronger than me, but you'll never get more vicious than me - I have a lot more practice!"
So watch out for us "old dinosaurs".
As my Dad once said to me, "Watch it boy, I'm this old for a reason." ?

We've noticed that normal sized caches have been getting fewer and far between around our area and more micros being placed.
We know this is in part due to muggles and a few Richard Craniums going around destroying them. It's sad that there has to be people put there like that.
Personally, we're not really fans of micros unless they're at a point of interest like the scenic overlook in McGregor, IA.
We go out looking for caches when we can, even if they're micros. We enjoy the hunt(not the bugs or plants), but it's also interesting to see the swag left behind by others and trading.
Any suggestions on how to make a nornal size cache have a long life? We want to start hiding caches like we like to find. Puzzle caches are great for some, but we're out there for leisure and don't like our brains being tortured so we definitely won't be doing puzzle caches or at least not difficult ones.

You're putting that note on someone else's TB?
Yes I did. I tried contacting Jeep and no response.
So I figured since I resurrected the Jeep TB with an actual Jeep, bought with my money, I'd add a personal note.

I'd never heard of these things. Do you need an inkjet printer, or will they work on a laser printer? I can see there being an issue with the heat if they go through a laser one. Do they need to be sealed with something after shrinking to stop the letters from coming off? Have you seen one of these tags after they've been out in the wild for some time to see how they've survived?
Apologies for all the questions, I'm seeing lots of possibilities for a product like this. At around $3.50 per sheet (from what I've found so far) in Australia, they are a bit on the pricey side but still cheaper than engraving aluminium (which is what I was looking to do at the moment).
Inkjet printer for sure. The tags I made seem pretty stout. The ink soaks into it and doesn't rub off.
Search for Inkjet Printer Shrinky Dink sheets.

Here's the new Jeep...
Yes, I know someone will probably bogart it soon after I release it again so I actually made a duplicate to keep for myself.
On a side note, printable Shrinky Dink sheets make for great tags since they shrink to 1/3 their original size and get 9 times thicker.
I'll probably give this refreshed Jeep TB to my Dad, Muffkin42 x 2, so he can take it to a Premium Cache somewhere.

After going through the tons of pesky "took it to..."... log pages, it seems it went "missing" in '05.
The TO just "resurrected" their original Jeep with a few others at some event. Apparently the TO deleted all that in-between stuff...
Simply the tracking code placed on another item. Nothing new.
If you think your others went bye-bye quick, wait until you put out a jeep.
Until they log in, there's probably a bunch who'd think they struck gold.
Yep, I've thought about that too. I even made new tags for them and added a note on the back of one. LOL

The original owners are long gone. I've tried contacting them and no response.
Being a Veteran myself, I feel an obligation of hanging onto the coin and continue having it visit places.
As soon as I get a red Jeep to make a copy, I'll be releasing the Jeep back into the wild cuz I don't want to be "one of those people" who keep travel bugs.

Found this in a cache last weekend... see photo.
Jeep 4x4 #196, TBH2NT
It's not a Jeep, but it has the Jeep tracking number on a paper tag and a note... see photo.
It needs a Jeep makeover. I've got 2 yellow Jeeps arriving in the mail today and I've got heavy duty tags made for it. I'll post photos when it's done.

I've got these in my inventory...
"Little Swan River (MN)" Red Jeep TB, TB1NP3Q
In Honor of Lt Cmdr Jane E Lanham, TB3HGQD
The Jeep I found at a garage sale on June 29th... $5
The geocoin I found on eBay. It was one the contents of an abandoned storage locker... $13
I paid for them so am I wrong to keep them and continue visiting caches or do I send them on their way?

I received my other half of my mammoth coin set.
VERY NICE!
I love the fact they're magnetic.
$4 shipping is a small price to pay to get it too. Didn't bother me at all.

My parents already have this and their gps coordinates engraved on the back of their headstone.

I added dangerous vegetation and trees.
