Razza2311 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Hi I am reasonably new to geocaching and recently activated a travel bug. The tracking number is TB19BFD. I have placed it in a cache but have been unable to log that I have placed it there. (GCWDMO) and cosequently the inventory for that cache does not show it. When I try to log it the only options I am given are: Grab it from somewhere else Write note Discovered it If you look at the home page for the travel bug it shows Recently Spotted: Unknown location I have had to Write note to say it is in the cache. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Edited June 5, 2007 by Razza2311 Quote Link to comment
+admo1972 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Never use the tracking code you just gave out. This item should only be publically referred to as TB19BFD. If you are the owner (which you should be if you activated it), go to the cache listing itself and there you have an option of dropping it into it. Quote Link to comment
+Driver Carries Cache Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Howdy! First thing... edit that tracking # out of your post! When you go to the cache where you placed the TB, log a note and on the form page where you add your message... right below the window you write in should be a list of trackable items in your possession. Select your bug and post your note. It should show up in the inventory of the cache now. Hope that helps! DCC Quote Link to comment

Then go back to the cache you placed it in and post another note, select your bug and submit. You can delete the previous note you posted on the bug page if you wish This link will give some information as well. How To Log A travel bug Edited June 5, 2007 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment

+Driver Carries Cache Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Cool! I've been keeping an eye on the Travel Bug's page and it looks like you got him fixed. May he have many happy travels! Sorry about the slip with the tracking ID # Nothing to be sorry about. Some have been known to take those numbers and log false logs on the bug, so you don't want anyone to have it... that is unless they find and move your TB! Best wishes, DCC Quote Link to comment
