Our cat coco was playing with this TB.

The TB is called Buddy Lee Travel Bug.

Monkey Buisness TB's mission was to get into mischeif. We caught him running with scissors.

 

 

This is great, I laughed out loud! Love the thread, thanks everyone

This Hannah Montana microphone TB hopes to visit a concert of hers.

Since we missed the concert here by about 2 years we found the next best thing.

A poster... thanks to our jr. explorer!

Purple Ducky in the San Gabriel Mountains, Angeles National Forest with downtown Los Angeles in the distance.

 

I usually don't do playground hides but this one was empty and it had cool play equipment. Purple Ducky is in the serpents mouth.

Here are a few that I've taken over the past few years that I like:

 

 

Elmer is a Mastadon at Oakland Community College in Waterford, MI.

 

This was after a snowstorm we had that dumped over 18" of snow in a period of 4 to 5 hours

The Bobcat TB was launched by a Cub Scout Troop. We took a photo of the Bobcat with some of the animals from our collection that are commonly found in South Carolina.

 

 

 

This Bear TB was launched by a Boy Scout who said the Bear wanted to meet other animals. We thought he might appreciate a ride.

 

 

 

The Australian Crickey Fundraiser Geocoin survived his visit... Go Gators!

[+Buddies-Buddies]

I'm pretty new to posting here so I will just put up the website for the Indiana Jones TB that we brought on a little adventure. Unfortunately the next person to pick it up after us never released it... too bad.

These were at a place called Creek Park in Whittier, Ca. There were two caches here, one at each end of the park. A neighborhood park with a creek down the middle.

Jawbone Canyon store, Mojave Desert, Ca.

 

A wheelchair accessible hiking path in Puente Hills, Ca.

 

This was once a run-down cemetery that the city of Whittier converted into a neighborhood park. It gives you an odd feeling to know that while you are enjoying the park, you are really walking on graves. There is a dedication wall that lists all of the people buried here.

[+do not resuscitate]

This was called Cache Jail and located in a bush on a lonely hiking trail in the Puente Hills, Ca. I took me a long time to spot it even though it was right in front of me.

 

John Greenleaf Whittier was a turn-of-the-century poet, philosopher and quaker. And the founder of the city of Whittier. This is part of a mural showing scenes of early Whittier.

These sculptures are at a pocket park in Whittier, Ca. commemorating the Women Of Whittier.

An old cemetery near Lake Isabella, Kern County, Ca.

 

A Joshua tree off of hwy 178 in Kern County, Ca.

 

Historic marker at junction of hwy 178 and the famous Pacific Crest Trail. Cache is in the bare-looking tree at about one-o'clock. I thought I was going to have a cardiac climbing to it.

A cool relief map of the Antelope Valley and places within it. It was located at a vista point where a virtual cache was.

 

Not a TB, but the condition of my head after a day caching on my bicycle when I forgot to wear a hat. Ouch!

 

Not a TB, but homemade cookies that a cacher made and brought to an event in Corona Del Mar.

This was about ten feet from the cache, near Silverwood Lake, Ca.

 

The cache was under one of those rocks.

 

View from gz of a nice valley. Reminded me of the Ponderosa.

A giant fish head that someone had dumped near the cache in Wildomar, Ca.

 

GTO on the well-camo'd cache, Mile Square Park, Fountain Valley, Ca.

 

This cache was hanging out of sight from fishing line and dropped into a storm channel. A bit of a shock to pull the line and find this.

 

This cache was located near a pizza place, Murrieta, Ca.

[+do not resuscitate]

This was well-hidden for Halloween, and I was surprised that the lights and sounds still worked.

One of the first TBs we ever found, the Great CATsby, a stuffed cat who wanted to see things with "CAT" in the name. When we found him, he was freezing and damp in a local cache, so we put a hat on him, packed his suitcase and got him a camera....

 

 

So we took him somehwere warm, the Eastern Caribbean, on a cruise ship. Here he is lounging on the Lido deck with hamburger and fries with no CATsup!

 

 

Here he is enjoying a view of CAT Island, Bahamas.

 

 

Here he is taking a CAT nap in our suite, all that eating and sightseeing tired him out!

 

 

When we returned home, we took him CATching, I know, it's a stretch! He found his first cache...

 

 

...and there was even a TB inside, a cute little monkey!

 

 

We had so much fun with the Great CATsby, he traveled thousands of miles with us!

Your photos are soooo cute!

Looks like you put alot of thought into it... good job!

I just have to resurrect this thread. I love TB's and I think we need to take more pictures of them in their travels. I made a series of TB's from 10 deputies in California killed in the line of duty. This was one of them.

 

[+Bubbles&Bonkers]

Trying to post a picture, guess I'll see if it's there when I hit 'Add reply'

 

Here is my Woofers TB, a dog, meeting another dog in the UK. I got a LOT of nice pictures with this one before it got lost. :-/

 

[+Bubbles&Bonkers]

Here's a TB we found and took to the Winter Carnival in St Paul, MN.

This is Jumbo meeting Horton (a snow sculpture)

Here's Serenity's Friend (Pooh Bear) with dog and honey!

 

 

And taking a walk in the snow!

I try my best to take photos of TBs before I drop them - my gallery has lots of them! Here are a few favorites:

 

I just like the perspective on this one:

 

This TB was supposed to visit train-related caches - this spot was perfect, AND had a cache there too!:

 

This is one of my own TBs - took this before dropping it off on its journeys:

 

This TB was in a race from England to get to a specific cache in Berkeley, CA - "The Slippery Slope." I took it to that cache and got a photo of the little car ready to descend the slope!:

[+6NoisyHikers]

I'm glad you bumped this thread - I hope it reminds people how much fun it is to take pictures of TBs in cool places and how much owners appreciate seeing them!

 

From our gallery:

Brrrrr....

Here's a few of the ones I have taken...

This is what we posted for Fawley Owl (back as Team Muppet)

"Took some pictures of Fawley Owl with the cache, and soon more will come as soon as we develop the disposible camera that our team member Cookie Monster took to school with her."

One of my TB's, Yoda, was trying to make it to Legoland Billund.

He has gone missing twice now, but he did make it to Legoland California

I work in a pharmacy and just HAD to take a picture of this one with the roids!

[+ModelCitizen]

Any travel bugs or geocoins that I pick up get treated to at least one adrenaline-charged adventure along with anything else I'm doing.

 

Here's an F22 Raptor travel bug flying with me under one of my parachutes.

 

And going to a New Orleans Saints football game.

 

Another airplane travel bug, right after getting down from a 14,000 foot skydive with me at the Gold Coast Skydivers drop zone in Lumberton, Mississippi. Yeah, we jumped out of that plane right there. Then it started raining and the skydiving day was over.

 

I came across this travel bug that is the same car as my little track car, so they had to have their picture taken together.

 

A "Stunt Coin" on my skydiving rig before going up for a REAL stunt.

 

A geotag flying with me. Looks like we're about 4,000 feet up at the time.

 

Another geocoin, this time under my zippy little modified canopy.

 

Watching a load of skydivers coming in for a landing.

 

Blue skies!

Monty Moose on the USS Alabama battleship.

 

 

I work with a local high school every year to help the kids design, build, and program a robot for the FIRST Robotic Competition. We only have six weeks from start to finish. Here's a SnowWolf geocoin on the front of one of the robots, amongst all the wiring and components.

 

The rest of the robot.

 

 

The "Race Official Tom" travel bug, about to make a 10-second, 140 mph 1/4 mile pass with me at the Hub City Dragway.

 

 

One of those green jeep travel bugs making a jump with me.

 

 

An American Caching geocoin with me in my favorite place to be in all the world -- up in the sky. I should have been born a bird.

 

Blue skies!

You know, as fun as it is to post pictures of travel bugs, I really like to post videos of their adventures. Here are a few of the recent ones:

 

Exhibition jump into a C-Spire sponsored, televised local high school football game...

 

Alabama state skydiving record attempt and other jumps...

 

I arranged a private track day for me and some friends at the Talladega Gran Prix Raceway road course. Several travel bugs came along for the ride...

Visit link

 

A few more jumps. One of the travel bugs got to come out of the fanny pack I carry them in and get some time in front of the camera at the end of this video...

 

Another exhibition jump, onto a tiny little spot on a downtown street for the opening ceremony of the Mississippi State Games...

 

Check out my YouTube channels for more videos. Search for "GCJumper" or "GeoTBJumper".

 

Blue skies!

The next traveller I release is going to have the goal of getting to Mississippi and into the hands of Model Citizen!

BarstowDude hooked up with several chicks on his 8,000 mile trip around the US. even one that wanted to be attached forever.

 

the dude wasn't really into pink bows.

 

she just was a little too old for him.

 

 

goofy red-haired chick was fun to hang out with for a while.

 

this is the femme fatale who wanted to be "the One." but seriously, is this the kind of girl one takes home to meet the family?

This spring I found a travel bug that was a small painting of Mount Rainier here in Washington State. It just happened that I was working on a puzzle cache utilizing this photo of The Mountain to locate the cache.

 

 

When we arrived at ground zero the sky was overcast and our view of Mount Rainier was obscured but the travel bug filled in perfectly!
