mtbikernate Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 My travel bug, Stupid Cancer just turned up after being held hostage for 2 1/2 years. I have sent some friendly reminders to the cachers holding on to it on a couple of occasions, and got nothing in response (no apology, nada). Today I got the e-mail to my geocaches folder that the TB has been put back into the wild! Makes me happy, this one has a great deal of sentimental meaning to me because I had spent the previous 9mo receiving chemotherapy and unable to go into public and this was my first hike that happened to be on my 29th birthday on the 29th of November.

+popokiiti Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Glad to hear your travel bug has resurfaced! I can see why it has great sentimental value. I wish you continued good health. I recently contacted the last cacher to have logged being in possession of one of my geocoins. It was named after my cat, Kona, who recently passed away. Like you, I have heard nothing. If they still have it, or can get it, all I want is it's return and I will pay the postage. Quote Link to comment

+luvvinbird Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I would be so happy if I received a similar e-mail. My one and only TB has been inactive for almost one year. Several "nice" e-mails I sent have had no response. I wouldn't normally be too concerned but it appears I unknowingly added the tag to something belonging to my wife (and she loves to remind me about it). Quote Link to comment
mtbikernate Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 my previous tree released TB's have not had such a fortunate fate. one was in a cache and turned up missing. another was in a cache that got bulldozed. The third was last logged roughly 6mo ago by a guy who was taking it around to visit other caches in IL, AR, and MO. He was moving it a lot for awhile. I have several unreleased trackables that I hesitate to let go in the town where I live. Trackables don't do well here. I usually release them when I go on a trip to some other state.
