+GWTony Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 is there a way I can search for caches that contain trackables? I am rather new to this sport and want to incorporate my travels with moving some trackable items. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Well, I see you're a premium member. You can build a Pocket Query and check the box for listing caches "that have travel bugs." Reports of bugs are pretty unreliable, though. When one goes missing, it's often allowed to "sit" in the last cache it was known to be in. Quote Link to comment

+BlueDeuce Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 When you don't find a listed bug in a cache try to mention this in your cache log so the owners can decide if they should move it out. Quote Link to comment
+GWTony Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I looked into the query options and this does what I need to find some bugs. I was in a cache last week to retrieve a motorcycle that wanted to travel to some dealers, the plan was to take it to Souteast, and Lake Erie HD dealers for some pictures, but the TB was not there... The trip was not a waste, because this was a first find for me I ride a Honda, but don't mind helping out any other motorcycle. Thanks for the help on this! Quote Link to comment
+FatCat2 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I noticed between 80% to 90% of trackables in inventory are missing. But to be fair few cachers will alert the bug/cache owners that it's missing. When you find a missing bug please note it on the bug page AND in your cache log, then the inventory is more likely to be corrected, the owner can try to track it down, and the next cacher won't be too disappointed.
