AggieCache09 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Howdy y'all, I wanted to start this topic to encourage and give a place for people to discuss creative ideas for TB's. Some ideas I have had involve different locations for the bug to visit (i.e. waterfalls, islands, deserts) or actions that each person should take while moving the bug (i.e. taking a picture or painting the item attached to the tag). I would love to hear more examples of creativity and if you have an active bug that you think is creative do tag it's information! -Aggiecache09 Quote Link to comment
LopFam5 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I saw a friend who sent his ex-wife's wedding ring out as a TB! Sad as it is, I thought it was very creative and interesting. He called it The Ring of Fire, and it is TB33NWG. One of my little ones attached a toy to hers and asked all who find it to tell about their favorite toy. Traveling Toy Tales = TB3ZM1P I have dropped one that is particularly meaningful to me (although it hasn't moved yet!). It's called "Sing! Sing a song!" TB3ZM0X Quote Link to comment
pezman Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 My grandmother used to make chocolate chip cookies by the thousands. I decided to encase one of them with a TB tag in clear resin and send it around the US visiting states like she and my grandfather used to do. She had the best time keeping up with it. Unfortunately the TB went missing but not until it had traveled for almost 5 years and covered over 19K miles. TB974 Quote Link to comment
+Geoaddict Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 One of my travel bugs is called Nurse Nanna's Nemesis (TB1929X). My geocaching friend Nurse Nanna is deathly afraid of snakes. I made a travel bug out of a rubber snake with the goals: 1. Be placed in a cache outside of Chelsea, Michigan. 2. Be placed in a cache outside of Michigan. 3. Be placed in a cache outside of the United States. 4. Be placed in a cache outside of North America. 5. Be placed in the Down on the Corner (GCRFJM) cache, which is the cache that is the farthest away from Chelsea. It has traveled over 16,600 miles and it was recently dropped into a geocache in Western Australia only a few hundred miles away from its ultimate goal. Quote Link to comment
AggieCache09 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wow those are all really good. I especially like the grandmothers cookie idea! I just sent one in a package to Germany to travel Europe. it's goal is to be painted and have pictures taken with each new owner. His page can be found at TB48HZ9. Happy caching -Aggiecache09 Quote Link to comment

+grazelda Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I saw this one and wish she would visit Iowa. Cindy the Cinderblock - She has traveled almost 13,000 miles!!!! http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=27797 Quote Link to comment
+mamoreb Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I think that my Grete Waitz challenge geocoin (TB3YX99) is pretty creative: "(...) Any geocache is fine, but I challenge you to help the coin visit - or even take part in - marathon races, cancer charity events or Special Olympics events!" The coin page has a lot of different possible achievements listed. The good thing is, anyone can move it anywhere, and it will still be close to somewhere or someone with the possibility of fulfilling one of the achievements. I also have two mascots trying to visit former Olympic cities (TB334G4) and the city of the upcoming Youth Olympic Games (TB334F1). Quote Link to comment
+jgc3 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hi, I have a TB called "Morphy" that has a mission to change with every new finder.. Morphy It's only new but should be fun.

I missed the news about Grete Waitz's death. I was a long distance runner when I was in high school and remember following Grete's achievements here in the U.S. I don't do long distance running anymore, but I'll put this geocoin on my watchlist in case it comes by Chelsea, Michigan.

+mamoreb Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 That would be very nice, Geoaddict! You just gave me an idea to add to the coin achievement list! Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wow... That wedding band traveler is interesting. At least it gets a new use. Can't believe it is still moving. Quote Link to comment
