New travel bug explanations

[+GoodHunting]

I have seen on the website a Word document that can be printed and placed in a new cache explaining the whole idea in case the cache in found by accident or whatever.

 

Is there a similar document for new travel bugs?

There isn't a letter yet, however several tags have been printed that can be attached to the bug. TTracker posted one. Look in his post dated March 1st.

Nothing official yet but if you check out this thread http://opentopic.Groundspeak.com/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1750973553&f=8080979883&m=7780968393

Markwell had put an example of a card that he has attached to his travel bugs. I know I had posted a link to word file that could be downloaded and modified but can't seem to find it right now.

I don't recall what TTracker's tag looked like, so I can't speak for it; but I definitely thought Markwell's was well done. If you ask nicely, I can practically guarantee that he'd be happy to share his template with you.

Yep - to anyone who wants one.

 

I should say I did it in MS Powerpoint 2000 (but it can be read by 97).

Markwell,

 

What are the approx. dimensions of your card? I don't have PP, so I'm going to try and copy it with MS Publisher.

I definately plan on creating a small (not much bigger than the dog tag) laminated note that tells what to do and where to log on. Of the two travel bugs I have gone looking for, both of them were taken before I got there, and both have not been logged by whoever took them either....bummer, if I'd just gotten there sooner, they would have been taken care of properly, but now it looks as though those bugs are going to be M.I.A.

 

I have thought about placing my bugs only in Members Only Caches, and specificly requesting that who ever finds them only moves them into other M.O.C.'s but I really would rather have them open to everyone, it's just that the general caches seem to be hunted by a lot of people with no regard to anyone but themselves, who don't like rules of conduct, and who don't want to take time to log things in.

 

Frustrating situation....and I'm new to all this and have already observed this as a problem and a detractor to the game, hopefully someone will come up with a way to solve this problem.

 

ummmm....not sure what to say here....so ummm, well errrr, uhhhh, well I guess that's it.

When I originally did it I tried to do it with quarter fold size. I did it in Word, but I couldn't get my darn printer to print all the way to the edges. So I copied and pasted and got it to work in PP.

 

So dimensions are 5.5"x4.25" or the size of a 8½x11 page folded into quarters.

Forgive the newbee opps. I found Markwell's Aquaman card a few hours after I posted this message. I don't use Powerpoint, so with some plagiarizing I'll try to set up something similar in Word.

 

Thanks,
