+Silly Dilly Duo Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I recently saw a TB dropped off in one of my Caches. it is supposed to be in a race with two others back home. they have a reference number, and I noticed reference numbers on the other TBs. I can't figure out for the life of me how to use the reference number. They are: Mac Mass (TB112F) Crocodile Hunter (TB143F) Cross-country Bike (TB1551) Mac Mass is currently in [http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=4399]Back from the abyss[/url] How do I find the other two?

+worldtraveler Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 1. Go the the “Hide & Seek a cache” page. (No, that's not a typo.) 2. Enter your Travel Bug reference number in the “Or, Enter a waypoint” box. (That's not a typo, either.) 3. Ta Da!

+WaldenRun Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Use the 'Hide & seek a cache' button in the left frame of your geocaching.com browser window. Near the bottom of that page, there is a field labeled 'Or, Enter a waypoint:'. Enter the TBnnnn id into that box and hit find! -WR "Why worry when you can obsess?" Quote Link to comment

Zuckerruebensirup Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 In case you're wondering why there's a reference number that's separate from the tag serial number, it's so that we have a way of tracking a travel bug, without being privy to the access code for "grabbing" it. (Only those who actually handle the bug should know what the actual tag number is.) ------- "I may be slow, but at least I'm sweet!"
