+TeamAH3 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I hope your Drop of Guiness makes it further then my Red Hook TB. I received an e-mail from a sock puppet e-mail account that they were throwing my TB away. They went on to lecture me that promoting alcohol on this family activity will not be tolerated. What if their child logged the TB and saw pictures of beer? Phew, lucky that got thrown away - now their child can grow up without ever becoming aware of the existence of beer. Quote Link to comment

+AirborneSurveyor Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The Garmog Quote from Snoogans' TB Longevity Clinic: Another Longevity Strategy I've been posting lately: "If you want your bug to survive, make it UGLY.........Don't send those cutie plush bears and bunnies out there.......attach your bug to a chunk of rock, or a scrap of wood, etc. It'll probably go farther than you expected" JayBee That's a little bit more to the point of what I started this thread with. A cute thing with a big friggen hole drilled in it, is still cute and likely to get more pictures. It's however, less apt to be added to someone's collection of nifty things. Same goes for an ugly bug. You have defiantly got this one down. That is one UGLY bug. Quote Link to comment

+evi1chef Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 This is the second one of these we've released... Iggy Prop That's really cool! I can see how I'm probably going to get addicted to TBs. I only just began caching in August, and already I have 5 bugs, 4 of which have been released. Not sure any of them are especially cool, but figured I'd throw them out here. An Fear (my car) Langdon's Daughter Marvin A.R.E. Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 This was my first TB, released in 2003, and I'm pretty sure it's still active. My other travel bugs are mtn-man's ride. And of course, there's Spirit of Ozzie the Osprey Love Doll with his own thread. And my poor old car keys, Whoopdie doo Whoops! My poor Subaru! My one and only activated geocoin is either stuck in a cache since 2007, or missing. I can't get anyone to confirm it. Quote Link to comment

Scruff the Mitten Kitten That's really quite ... stunning? Very cute, indeed. I, too, enjoy Studio Ghibli, and am sorry I won't likely be anywhere near enough to your TB to snag it as it travels.

+choclabnut Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Interesting idea, The Travel Bug! http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1977123 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1973420 These are two of several I have circulating the planet. My travel bugs took on the theme idea that if it interests small children they will be more likely moved. So I have a couple of "Thomas" train items, as well as "Lighting McQueen". My first travel bug is a small stuffed puppy headed to Kazakhstan. I placed him in a cache in the spring of this year and he has made it to Germany. I find it interesting how these guys get around!

+ZeroHecksGiven Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 This one was at an event this evening. I'll blur out the code since it's obvious. But it's funny how many people will probably log this. The dummy holds a pail at the event where people can drop geocoins and TB's, yet no one really noticed the dummy is a TB of sorts, lol. Obviously not meant to travel, but a fun discoverable... Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I like BIG bugs. I released a refrigerator door just over 2 years ago. It was meant to collect other TB's and coins to be attached to it forever by their owners. It has nearly 30 on it now! It's main goal is to attend events, but mainly to make it back to every GeoWoodstock.... It hasn't missed one yet. The magnets on it are for trade for other magnets.... Here is the most recent picture during its travels: Quote Link to comment

+K N D Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 <p>Here's mine, http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=2448974 </p> <p> Current GOAL: To travel to all 50 states collecting 'state spoons', if possible. Then once all states are marked off, travel back to Cashmere, WA.. The state spoons can usually be found in any highway gas station or souvenir shop. I think they run 5-7 bucks. If you do attach a spoon, remember the old TB saying, "If you want your TB to survive, drill a hole through it." So if you could drill a hole in the spoon part to ensure other people don't take it off for their own collection, but also to allow it to be attached to the TB, that would be great! I also appreciate any maintenance that anyone does to my TB. Also, please only place this bug in well visited caches, none that are way up in the mountains where nobody goes. </p> <p> About this item: Spoon This TB is a Aplets and Cotlets, Cashmere, WA. spoon with Mission statement and State check off attached. It's hoping to aquire more state spoons along it's travels. It is OK to add a spoon of the same state but different town/ city. Please post pix of new spoons added. When it reaches a new state, please check off the state with a permanent marker on it's attached tag.</p> Quote Link to comment

+Chi-Town Cacher Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I have a series of TBs that I've released called the Dead Presidents series. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this idea, but they are my favorites so far. For me the most surprising part is that generally speaking the majority of them seem to be surviving and travel. If you'd like to see one you may CLICK HERE . Happy caching! Quote Link to comment
