+StumpWater Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 How did this part of caching get started? Anyone on here know stories from the early travelers? What was the first traveling object? First TB? StumpWater Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I heard that it was Moun10Bike who started the idea of a travel item but not sure if it was true or not. Quote Link to comment
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Jeremy owns TB1 tb1 You may want to do some research. I have a power-point on all of them to the first 50. There was a place we did this one once I will see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment
+clatmandu Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The first ones were listed as caches and called travelers since there was no such thing as a TB. Several cachers started their own aprox. the same time, so I'm not sure if you can find who started the first one. Mt10Bike, MountanMan and several others had some out there. Here is a link to one that is still active. Has had quite a ride, visiting Canada, Groundspeak HQ 2-3 times, has crossed the country several times, been lost, revived, but still goes on tickin. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...3b-873f144a593b Quote Link to comment
+ventura_kids Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Do you mean in the present context of Geocaching? or before that? Before the TB tags, there were objects that moved around with goals, or destinations. They just had homemade tags on them. You may still find some out there. Quote Link to comment

It would have been difficult to list it as a traveler since travelers didn't exist. The only listings were for caches. BTW, these travelers were also the birth of traveling caches, there are still a few of them moving around too. Quote Link to comment
