+meoutdoors Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I did a search and nothing came up with this topic. Any way you can put a 'watch' on someone who has retrieved a travel bug from a cache to monitor where it goes. I know you get a notification if they drop it in a cache but you do not get anything if they visited or took it someplace. The reason I am asking is if they take it to places, they are more apt to drop it in a cache than if they just retrieve it and it sits in their bag or car someplace. If it is in the forum already, please point me in the right direction. thanks Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nope. You can "watch" caches, not people. I believe that many "take it to" visits, the TB is actually home, not really carted around at all. Quote Link to comment
+maristua Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You can put the travel bug or geocoin on your watch list. Then you'll get a mail each time it is logged. Quote Link to comment

"Visited/took it to" is now on the watchlist? Don't think 'Visits' are notified. IF the TB is yours, it's on a 'Watchlist' anyway. (And 'Visits' aren't notified.) Quote Link to comment

Well, we knew that. - But I asked the poster, in case they didn't understand the OP's query. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You can go to the all geocache finds page for that cacher and bookmark it (on the computer not the site lists) and just click it when desired. Quote Link to comment
+PMHerz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 You can use http://www.changedetection.com Works fine, but you'll get some false notifications if minor changes are made to the page by Groundspeak, etc..... Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm still confused as to what the benefit of this would be. Quote Link to comment
+PMHerz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I have a TB in a race and I like to see when it's been moved, even if it's only been dipped in a cache and not dropped off. By using http://www.changedetection.com/ I get an email whenever the TB page itself has been changed. The TB has remained with the same person for months and been dipped in hundreds of caches, but I never receive an email from Groundspeak. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I understand the benefit of 'watching' the TB page. I don't see the benefit in 'watching' the geocacher as the OP requested. Quote Link to comment
