+Markwell Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 The FAQ at the bottom of the Travel Bug page is pretty good, but I'll summarize: Travel Bugs are dog tags with a six digit serial number on them. They are attached to objects by cachers who release them into caches. Each person that finds a TB is asked to log it on the website (using that 6 digit code) and the website will track the character's movements. That's the official line. Some have goals, some do not. Some are cute. I just saw one that a buddy had at the picnic that looked literally like a piece of plastic that someone pulled from a garbage can - complete with old dead bug stains on it. eeww. If it ain't got the dog tag, it ain't a travel bug, but it CAN be a traveller that moves from cache to cache. We were doing that before the Travel Bugs were invented. We just had to do all the tracking work ourselves. Markwell Chicago Geocachers Quote Link to comment
