+pbtgeo Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I just picked up my first travel bug in Kitty Hawk on the North Carolina shore. When I went online to log it I found the current goal to be "Reach the North Carolina Shore". I was going to take it back to Williamsburg, VA with me and put it in a cache there. What to do?? Quote
+cerberus1 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 You don't have a trackable in your inventory, so can't see what the mission says. If there is nothing in the mission (other than to reach the goal it's currently at), taking it to drop in another cache elsewhere should be fine. Quote
+cerberus1 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Okay, found it. Since there is no mission other than reaching where it is now (such as a return back home...), VA sounds fun. Quote
+Lt.Ranger.Bob Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I would contact the owner of the trackable to see what they might want to do with it. Quote
+dprovan Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 "The TB took a side trip here in Williamsburg, VA, having fun visiting the colonial sites while it's waiting for a new mission." Quote

+b4danica Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I have the same issue. A TB I grabbed not knowing at the time it was in the location that accomplished the goal. It had been sitting there for a month (in the cache) and I logged it & have kept it traveling around town with me. I messaged the TB owner but they haven't been active for years & have not had a reply. I kind of figured I'm keeping it going but can always turn it back in if the original owner every contacts me. In the mean time, I'm sort of using it as my mascot documenting all the places I've been. Edited August 22, 2015 by b4danica Quote

Just because the TO isn't active any longer (that you know of...) doesn't mean the thing's now yours... Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Just drop it off (and log it) into another cache. It isn't yours to keep, it can just bounce around a bit more now that it has met its goal. Quote
+Shinook & White Juan Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) It would be fun to know the success rate of travelbugs that do reach their goal. Would be interesting. Edited August 28, 2015 by Shinook & White Juan Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Kinda hard to figure out though. Usually, if I have one reach its goal, I just give it a new goal and it continues on from there. Quote
