paganfrog Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 well soon i shall be unable to do much in the way of outside cache entertainment. so i thought id try to get one of these "traveling caches" set up for myself instead. it would have a logbook and a geocoin that remains inside the box. i would include candy and other travel friendly foodstuffs and a geocoin activated by me to be set traveling in a cache near to the next recipient and also a few gifts to be traded like ususual. the candy and other gifts must be traded like usual. please post here if any of you are interested in playing. i will keep a list of names that will be picked from randomly.

Opalsns no for example i send to you, then you pick someone else from the list to send it to. eventually hopefully my cache comes home to me. i wanted to do this primarily to occupy myself while im a baby slave and wont have the energy or time to go out caching. i will at least be able to watch and participate online here.

I'm suggesting getting a moderator that may know involved hiya its not a traveling cache, i know those arent allowed. if you do a search for the various missions on here you will find some that i am modelling this mission on. for example theres the sisterhood and the brotherhood of the traveling cache bug, or the witches coin chain mission. basically its just a fun mission traveling inside a container with a logbog for participants to comment in and some geocoins to traveling or trade or gift and other trinkets included. the container will be a travel bug that can be dropped and then removed from a geocache to add the milage of the travels.

+anne.and.eli Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I may be being dense, but the eye candy refers to geocoins, right? So there is one that is activated and stays with the mission, and then people choose candy and a coin to send along with the activated coin to the next recipient? I ask because I'd love to be involved if it means getting to find coins for people, but my hips are hinting that maybe I shouldn't join if it's just for candy. Quote Link to comment

+Eartha Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 WHOA! Stop right there!!! Are you really asking people to place food items in something that is going to be left in a cache!? No No No No No, a thousand times no. No food in caches. None. Not a bite, not a crumb. You are asking people to bait a cache so an animal will come along and chew the cache to bits. Please tell me this is not what you are doing. If this is what you are planning, I have to put my foot down and say this can't be allowed. No food in caches. That's one of the oldest rules of thumb around here. Take out any mention of anything to do with food, and this is fine. I cannot believe this thread lasted this long with nobody mentioning this fact. No food, no smelly items, no scented candles, even should be placed in caches. Please change this mission. You cannot do this to innocent cache owners. No food, no food, no food. I'm leaving this thread open so you can have the chance to ask me to edit it, and if this has already been sent out (it's a travel bug, not a traveling cache, the other mission person refused to listen to me, and called it a cache anyway, it is a travel bug, not a cache, OK, let's get that straight too) then whoever is holding it should remove all food items, and possibly change out the container, since it will already smell enough like food to attract a wild animal. NO FOOD IN CACHES! Quote Link to comment
+Fiery Searcher Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 OK, I'll go first and probably say what many were thinking: I didn't know there was a problem with a travelling cache. It does make sense that this is more of a travelling coin with luggage and a cache-house, so I see where Eartha is going and respect it. But, here's a thought: Why couldn't this be some kind of "evolving" multi-stage cache? So, the OWNER of the cache may send it off to the first recipient as the first stage, and then new stages/ are added as other cachers send it off to each other with the usual stuff (logbook, TBs, coins, "goodies") inside. Then, at some point when the owner wishes, he/she can call it back to the final coordinates, which would probably be his/her mailbox. It might grow into the largest multi-cache area, both in terms of stages AND overall mileage! Just a thought... Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Moving caches are no longer allowed. And won't be approved. My major issue is with the food in the cache. This is allowable as a travel bug, not a moving cache. BUT NO FOOD! Quote Link to comment
