Will be releasing my first TB soon

[+TeamPennyFinder]

I am excited. I got my dog tags a few days ago and have developed a back story for them. I have been geocaching with The Naked Mole Rat almost from the start. A fellow cacher on here suggested that I get a TB for it so it can start logging miles. I thought cool but bought 2 TB tags because I did not want the Naked Mole Rat to travel except with me and the wife. So enter Hairys Trap. That one soon will be banished to travel and think. LOL!

 

TB4KAAR is Hairy the Naked Mole Rat (staying with us)

TB4JWGG is Hairys Trap ( will be traveling soon)

I don't know anything about Hairy the Naked Mole rat - Is he a character from a TV series or something?

 

They make two amusing TBs. Just one thought - Have you considered buying a second 'trap' just in case the original disappears and you need to re-release it (after waiting about a year, to see whether it re-surfaces). Sometimes it's good to have a spare, just in case.

Thank You for the compliment on the back story.

 

The Naked Mole Rat is from the cartoon Kim Possible. His name in the cartoon is Rufus the Naked Mole Rat.

The reason we are not releasing him is he would not last 2 hops. He is the hard to find bobble head toy.

 

Being that we live next to a field we have a mouse problem that starts when the weather starts turning colder. So I have lots of back-up traps as the trap is very real. I just disabled it. LOL!

 

I hope the Trap never disappears because who would want a broken mouse trap? No one I hope.

A mouse just might like to have it... like a trophy, ya know!

OK...

 

It looked a bit different from the mousetraps here in UK so I thought maybe it was something special that you'd bought somewhere. "Who would want a broken mouse trap?" I like GG's idea... it makes you wonder when trackables disappear... Why would anyone want to keep that?

It is done. Hopefully Hairy's Trap will log many miles and never be muggled.

 

He was released in The Appalachian Quilt Trail - Mariners Compass

I cannot believe that my TB logged zero miles and is already gone. From the two notes posted on the cache where I dropped it someone has stolen the whole cache including the container!

With luck like this I do not know if I will even be attempting another TB in the future.

That stinks.....Sorry to hear that.

 

Maybe someday it will reappear.

I don't know how TBs in this situation usually fare, but TWO of mine were listed in stolen caches, archived, TBs which then turned up "grabbed" from "somewhere else". One of them was a year later, after I was 110% positive it was gone for good.

I guess I will just bide my time and hope that someone took the TB to move and just has not logged it yet before the whole cache was stolen. **sigh**
