+mbbaumann Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Got ours yesterday in Kansas City, MO not activated though, no activation information came, just in envelope by itself , nothing else. It is already activated. Just grab it like you would any other TB. Quote Link to comment
+Pris6966 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Got ours today....Bergen County, New Jersey. It's activated. Can't wait to get our little guy on the road. We hid three (3) new cache's recently and plan to start the journey in one. What is the contest, tho? Will wait until July 1 to read the rules and plan a July 4th release. Independence Day for our Red Jeep. BTW, try this for a name -- we have the North Fork South Arkansas River Red Jeep (where is East and West???). Named for a river in our favorite State (Colorado). Happy Trails!!! Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Got ours yesterday in Kansas City, MO not activated though, no activation information came, just in envelope by itself , nothing else. It is already activated. Just grab it like you would any other TB. When you filled out the form the "thank you" page had instructions on the TB. You just grab it (like has been said before). We'll be emailing folks who haven't yet activated them once they are all mailed out and (hopefully) received with more instructions. Quote Link to comment
+crookedcastle7 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Got it! Cannonball River, ND. Only 200 miles from home coordinates, pretty unusual for such a rural area with barely any rivers! Quote Link to comment
+geo-jenkins Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I tried to look mine up again, and the code is still not activated. Should I try to activate it myself? Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I tried to look mine up again, and the code is still not activated. Should I try to activate it myself? They should all be activated. If there is a problem with the code on the tag feel free to email contact@geocaching.com - Include the tag number to help speed up the process. Quote Link to comment
+red ink Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Also applied for one,waiting to see if I draw out to place in my first cache,fingers crossed,I do wish jeep would have gone with the wrangler instead Quote Link to comment
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) We received ours yesterday. My husband picked up the mail and had the RJTB sitting in front of my keyboard, waiting for me to see and Ooo-Aaa over. Today I tried to 'activate' it when I realized that I had no code. I then came to the forums and found out you just click ' Enter the Geocoin or Travel Bug tracking number:' and insert the TB #. Ours is "West Branch Shioc River (WI)" Our location is in the Middle of Nowhere, USA (Page, AZ), but we now have one that we will place soon. I am asking the same question...Are we supposed to wait until July 1st. to place it in a cache? Thank you so much. We had a 'Yellow' one that we placed in a special cache and have never even seen a white or green one, so this is fun!

+benh57 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Everyone should definitely wait until July 1st... because there is a contest associated with these to which we don't know the rules. I believe you can get the details by reading this month's women's health magazine, which is already out. But they won't be online till the 1st. Quote Link to comment
+Teach2Learn Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Everyone should definitely wait until July 1st... because there is a contest associated with these to which we don't know the rules. This is true if you want to participate in the contest. However, I noticed one Red Jeep TB was already placed in a cache when checking the new listings today. To those who don't plan to be in the contest, is there a reason to wait? Quote Link to comment

I believe you can get the details by reading this month's women's health magazine, which is already out. But they won't be online till the 1st. The website has this to say today: "We're out! Thanks for your interest in receiving a 2007 Jeep® Geocaching Challenge Travel Bug®! Due to the overwhelming response from the geocaching community all of the 2007 Jeep® Geocaching Challenge Travel Bugs® have been requested. Geocachers from around the contiguous United States should be receiving them in the next 2 weeks and you should start seeing them appear in caches near you. Make sure to look for the Red Jeep icon on your search results pages and cache listings. Thanks again!" To me that says go ahead and place them. I'm still waiting to be sure / safe though.

I'd say wait if you plan to enter the contest- but if not- then drop it Quote Link to comment

+PlantAKiss Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I am crushed I missed the bug release. I'd been waiting. And I drive a red Jeep. I've been so busy with problems at work and a mostly-non-functioning computer at home...I haven't been able to check the forums. Maybe I'll find one though. There is always hope. I'm glad its a red Jeep this time. Quote Link to comment
