+Nate Grumby Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hello! For a geocaching project for several homeschoolers, I need help with getting a batch of 10 new, activated TB's into the Oregon area, preferably into a active, often visited TB hotel that hasn't been raided or muggled. One of these TBs is a new 2006 Alaska Geocoin, so if you're really into having a little Alaskan flag on your profile page, we're your guys. All I need is a mailing address and the cache they'll be heading to so I can show it to the kids on Google Earth. They've worked pretty hard on creating these TB's, and some look really interesting. Included will be the following: TB14PW8 Champion Bear Wrestler 2 TB11FPB Thunderbird TB15D26 Shuttle SSTB-1 TB1647K Alaska is a State! TB1539R The Empire's Revenge TB15AKM Snake Eyes TB152QD The Flying Fish TB156RY Lord Vader TB14YZ5 Pikachu TB155A9 The Air Bender Pictures are online, though I'm still working on getting them to flesh out their missions. So, any takers? Nate Grumby Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 That sounds like a cool project, and I wish that I could be a part of it but I live in WA. I would suggest that you do not put the TB numbers in this forum however, because if some people see them and then start logging them willy nilly or "keeping" them, you can have a real headache on your hands. You want the logs on the bugs to truly reflect their travels. Quote Link to comment

I'm not exactly an expert in this.... Nate Grumby Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) We have a few frequently visited TB Hotels in the area. I could help. Nate - You're right, the TB numbers you posted cannot be used to log the coins. Edited October 24, 2006 by pdxmarathonman Quote Link to comment
+NeverSummer Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) We have a few frequently visited TB Hotels in the area. I could help. Nate - You're right, the TB numbers you posted cannot be used to log the coins. A great one that happens to have an address 30 feet from the cache would be "The W.U.G. Bug Hotel". The Hotel is actually locked, so there is slim to no chance for them to go missing right away. You can contact the owner, and they could place them easily. Either that, or I live quite close to it, and could help. Cheers Edited October 24, 2006 by NeverSummer Quote Link to comment

It appears that the e-mail didn't make it through. Seems to happen from time to time. If either of you guys send me your mailing address, I'll send you the bugs. If both of you send me your address, I'll split the pile in half and send both of you bugs. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
+NeverSummer Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Not a problem. PDXMM, try it again--I've sent him my info already. You're about as close as I am (I think)to the WUG, so we would love to help--as long as we can share the Alaska icon! Edited October 25, 2006 by NeverSummer Quote Link to comment
+NeverSummer Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Got the package today! What a grand surprise! Thanks! Will place them all soon for you. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Ditto - 5 TBs arrived today. Will get them placed and try to assure that I get a peek at the new AK '06 coin Quote Link to comment

Poppa J for Team Jac'd Hello! Well, this batch has gotten out, but I am starting a mini-database of others who offered so I can spread the weath next time. I will add your name to the list, and contact you when we make some more. BTW, kids are having fun watching these things 'pop' up all around the world. Google Earth is a wonderful thing...

+NeverSummer Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 pdxmm was a little under the weather, so we haven't had a chance to meet up to drop the bugs yet. I'm sure we'll get to it very soon. (figured you wanted an update...it's been a while!) Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I am feeling better now (3 days in the hospital!). I need to email NS to setup a new drop date. Wednesday should probably work OK. Quote Link to comment
