the butterfly effect Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi everyone I have a silly question about my TBs they always seem to end up in Michigan and never can seem to get out of Michigan, I have one that has seen almost every Metro park in detroit, whats up with that does anyone else have a tb that can never seem to get out of a state? Maybe there are just alot of caches in Michigan!! Quote Link to comment
hide & seekers Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The biggest bug collector and mover, MaxB on the River, is in southwestern lower Michigan. Check out their stats sometime! If any of your bugs end up in their hands again, you can ask them to move it out of the state. They are close to Indiana and also seem to travel a lot. Quote Link to comment
the butterfly effect Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 He has had all of my bugs I only live 7mi from indiana we traveled to texas this summer and we dropped one in missouri and I think it is in michigan now(I can't remember) Quote Link to comment
hide & seekers Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I hadn't checked before, but it looks like only one of your bugs is in Michigan right now and is in the hands of geopigs. Geopigs also moves a lot of bugs (and is friends with MaxB, I believe). Coincidentally, geopigs also is currently holding one of my bugs! At least your bugs are moving! Mine are still pretty new and have had (I think) a slow start. Quote Link to comment
+NevaP Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Strange. I have 22 travel bugs out there and in the three years I have been caching they have collectively visited 35 states plus the District of Columbia (and also eight countries other than the USA) and only TWO of them have ever been in Michigan. And each of those was only briefly in one cache and then left for another state. And I think Max B has only met one of them. Quote Link to comment

+Cache Viking Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 ... start worrying when one hits Florida. Especially before HURRICANE season. Quote Link to comment
+NevaP Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 ... start worrying when one hits Florida. Especially before HURRICANE season. I have one in Florida - sitting in a cache in a Jacksonville cache which hasn't been visited since the bug arrived 8/21. Another one is in a travel bug cache in Corpus Christie, right on the waterfront, but that cache has been logged since Rita so I assume the bug is still OK. These two and several others have a goal of getting to the vicinity of the next Entomological Society of America meeting and they just got a time extension. The buggy people were due to gather in a week in Fort Lauderdale but the meeting has been postponed until mid December. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Had one that was stuck in the Czech Republic for seven months. One month in the Netherlands and it's missing. B) Curious. The bug owner is not notified if the cache owner mark a bug 'missing'. Poor Furby FAC has been missing for three weeks, and I just noriced that.

flaboy Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The mosquitos in florida make looking for a TB in Florida btween june and oct very unpleasent. You can ususally walk down a trail in midday and not be bothered; but once you step off of a trail and start stirring up the underbrush.. look out Quote Link to comment
