Dinoprophet Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Elated bug owner here, sharing my joy! I've had bugs vanish and reappear before, but I'm especially thrilled that my Klingnau Kamera may finally make it home! A newbie picked it up in June of 2008 and then vanished from play. Last week, more than 3.5 years later, a newbie (or possibly a sock) discovered it and created a cache just to help get it going again. It just got transferred at an event, and I changed its goal (originally a cache of mine, now archived) to a cache very near my house. I'd been caching less than a year when I released this bug. It got very close to home just before it disappeared, I had assumed for forever. Chances now look good for it to return shortly before my ten year cache-iversary! Anyone know where to get film developed?? Quote Link to comment

Dinoprophet Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) It's here! A team dropped it off in its revised goal cache, right near my house, and I picked it up after work. Released 2/2/2003, returned 2/3/2012. What next? Well, the camera stays, but the tag just might make a second go of it.... Edited February 4, 2012 by Dinoprophet Quote Link to comment
+chznschnapps Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wow! I love the idea of a camera for a TB! So cool that someone got it to Klingnau and took a picture of it, and you actually got it back, and retrieved the pictures!!! This is such an amazing story! Thanks for sharing it!!!!

HRKHUNTERS Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 What a story!!!! Having just sent my first TB out into the wild i hope it goes as well as this one, i suppose without dissapearing for the 3.5years though! Quote Link to comment

Having just sent my first TB out into the wild i hope it goes as well as this one, i suppose without dissapearing for the 3.5years though! I've had other bugs disappear for a good length of time, though this is by far the longest. I think one had even been in a cache that went missing. It's frustrating when they're gone, but it's so exciting when out of nowhere, they return. Edited February 13, 2012 by Dinoprophet Quote Link to comment
