Help getting started w/ trackables

[leenietwins 0]

Hi there. I'm fairly new to GC but my kids and I love it! We are hoping to set up our own cache and we would really like to put in a trackable in honor o my grandmother who always wanted to see the world. We were hoping to use something of hers and get a code for it.

Is that possible? Can I just buy the code or do I have to buy the whole trackable?

I'm a little confused about it all.

Thank you for any help.

A Travel Bug IS the dog tag that you purchase from Groundspeak or one of it's authorized dealers.

 

Follow this link: http://shop.geocaching.com/

 

What you attach to the tag (hitchhiker) would be the item of your Mom's.

The TB dog tag has the number -- that is what you are really buying -- the use of the system to track that number, etc.

 

Being in Canada, http://landsharkz.ca/ is an authorized dealer (shipping charges will be better).
