+Five Cache-ka-teers Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 I love to seek out caches with Travel Bugs in them. At the time of this post I have found 59 of them, but have only been credited with finding 58. I believe the TB not being credited is one titled Generic Bug. I thought maybe if the owner gave it name it would be credited. I emailed him and talked with him about this, but he said he was not able to name the bug because it was an old bug. Does anyone have any insight on this problem or know why it is not being credited? Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 was the one not credited an hitchhiker? if it was an actual Travel Bug it should have had an number on it (and probly a tag). using this number you could have logged the bug as found and moved(assuming you moved it) and gotten the all important credit for it. but, even if you got no credit for any of the bugs you've found and moved, let me say, good job and thanks! im sure you've helped a lot of travelers get closer to their goals! thanks again!!

+Five Cache-ka-teers Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 Yes, it was an actual travel bug complete with tag and traveller. On it's TB page it is showing not released yet by the owner. Owner says administration will not activate it because it is an old tag. Doesn't reallty add up in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 ive never heard of that, seems if the bug isnt activated usally the owner doesnt know how or lost the activation code before they got it activated. but i thought that was "easy" to fix bye emailing jeremy and explaining what happened and he'll activate it.... i dont know what to tell you. quote:Originally posted by Five Cache-ka-teers:Yes, it was an actual travel bug complete with tag and traveller.

ColumbiaCountyWalker Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 In my haste to get at my new travel bugs I threw away one of the envelopes that had the activation code on it. I emailed contact@geocaching.com and they happily gave me a new activation code. I find it very interesting that an "old" bug could not get one. Quote Link to comment
