Thanks Connorgoodwin I just had a look at that link you gave to the Merrydown blog spot: On the righthand side it tells you about their playing cards and what they would like you to do with them.

+The Blorenges Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 could you use one but just say its a travel bug not on of them sort of things The only way to have a Travel Bug which is trackable on this geocaching.com site is to buy the official Groundspeak TB tags and use them on whatever item you wish. But there are several other variations of trackables that turn up in geocaches. There are trackable toy soldiers, little fish, other sorts of tags... someone in UK has just started putting out trackable yellow ducks (see the GAGB forum). If anyone wants to create their own version of the trackables game and sets up their own website to do so then that's up to them. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+ndfan62 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 This is what the website says about what to do with the playing cards. The playing cards If you have come upon this site as a result of geocaching or finding a geocache with one of our marked playing cards, here's some information about the cards: Basically we wanted some way of keeping track of the people who visited the caches we did as well as getting people to read the blog, so what we ask is that if you find or have found a card that you contact us by posting a comment or sending us an email on merrydowners@gmail.com and tell us where you found it and a little about your adventure getting there. Then we would like you to deposit it in the next cache you find and allow it to travel some more. We want to see how far we can get them!! Quote Link to comment
