RAIDER 1 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 How do you get them. does Jeep hand them out? do you have to buy them? Quote Link to comment
+Bear Paughs Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 You find WJTBs in caches just like normal travel bugs. They have jeep tags on them that are different from the normal travel bug tag. From what I can gather, there were cachers in various areas who were asked to distribute the jeeps to start with. From there they were placed in individual caches or distributed through events. Usually there is a rush to find the jeeps because they are part of a contest, because they have their own icon, and for various other reasons. If you see one dropped in a cache, you usually have to be quick to retrieve it before someone else does. There are a lot of topics in this forum about the WJTBs. There is a lot of controversey surrounding these. Quote Link to comment
+Team Neos Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Lots of controversy indeed! Truer words were never spoken. But here is a link to everything you wanted to know about the contest: JEEP And the link to the photo contest page: Photo contest Quote Link to comment
ImpalaBob Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 New WJTBs are constantly being put in to circulation ..... as I learned from several NEW WJTBs being offered as door prizes at a recent geocaching event I attended. Otherwise you just have to pay attention to the WJTB icons in your queries. ImpalaBob Quote Link to comment
+QDman Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Sometimes people in my area will mention in the forums that they've picked up a WJTB. I also look for nearby WJTBs and put them on my watchlist, so I can see when they're close enough to make a run for. Quote Link to comment
+501_Gang Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 We were wondering that too. We noticed that there are still some that Jeep has that has not been issued out yet. Quote Link to comment
