+Tonylama Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) What if I was to activate a TB and then "dip" it into each cache I have found (in order) by way of a note - not a new find --- so as to go back and capture data on how far I have traveled from cache to cache. Does that ever happen? Has anyone ever done this? Would it work? Edited February 23, 2006 by Tonylama Quote Link to comment
+ZackJones Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Yes, absolutely you can do that. I drop my personal traveling coin into each cache I've found and then retrieve it. It does generate a lot of email but I just have a filter to delete those emails when they arrive Quote Link to comment
+Team DAJJ Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 We also have a personal travel bug that we drop into each cache and then retreive it. We got the idea from a fellow cacher who does the same thing. We activated our TB after we'd found about 40 or so caches. Made for interesting emails from cache owners wondering how we left a TB in a nano or mirco cache. After we logged the note we went back and deleted it. Now we drop the bug with our Found log, the cache owner isn't even aware unless they check the TB history on their cache page. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 YES...I love my personal TB, which has travelled over 12,000 miles with me to caches in the last 22 months. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm up to 15,427 miles. Quote Link to comment
+Cal78 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I Have 9252.9 Miles on Mine, My Left Chuckie Taylor. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I Have 9252.9 Miles on Mine, My Left Chuckie Taylor. I started geocaching before you so it's understandable why I would have more. Quote Link to comment
+woody_k Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have a 2004 silver USA geocoin that I use as my personal TB and I have almost 15,000 miles on mine. Of course about 10,000 of that was from Paris and back to So Cal. Quote Link to comment
+q22q17 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I've been doing this for awhile with my Vacation Vampire travel bug. Also, I will dip TB's that I actually have with me in and out of caches to help their owners log up some miles as well. Picked up a couple in Utah this past weekend, and will dip them close to home before I find the right spot to leave them. It's fun to watch the miles you've cached increase. Quote Link to comment
+Arrow One Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have a personal Tb that travels with me as well. I dont log it into "every" cache, just one for the day. Just to much trouble for me, to log it into every one, but what ever you like is not a problem. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have a personal Tb that travels with me as well. I dont log it into "every" cache, just one for the day. Just to much trouble for me, to log it into every one, but what ever you like is not a problem. Yeah, I do the same. I pick my favorite cache of the day and log that one. I found logging it into all the caches of the day was a real pain (and I'm a low numbers person!). Mines over 16K miles now, but it's hopped the pond a couple of times. Quote Link to comment

+The Canning Clan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 curious .....you drop them in "electronically" then retrieve??? I have a set of un activated tags, sounds like a great idea Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 curious .....you drop them in "electronically" then retrieve??? I have a set of un activated tags, sounds like a great idea Most people actually have some physical object with the tag attached, I think. It would feel funny otherwise. I often take photos with mine: It ends up being kind of a combination mascot and caching diary. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 curious .....you drop them in "electronically" then retrieve??? I have a set of un activated tags, sounds like a great idea As Auntie said, typically most people do. My PTB is my shadow so it's hard to keep it attached. (Yes, both the tag and my shadow.) But I usually have it with me. (Yes, both the tag and my shadow.) Quote Link to comment
+worldtraveler Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 My personal travel bug is my Garmin V. If I ever lose it, anyone who finds it can track me down by simply entering the tag's number on the website. And FWIW, I think this tb has traveled farther than any other. Quote Link to comment

And, FWIW, I think yours has, too. Quote Link to comment
