+capthowie Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I picked up a travel bug a couple weeks ago. I logged it in but it will not show up in my inventory. Yesterday I logged another one in that didn't show up either. Why is this? I have logged TBs both before and after both of these two TBs. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Is the TB from yesterday that you are referring to Travelin Eagle? If so, you logged it as "Discovered", which does not move the trackable into your inventory. Only a "Grab" log will do that. It appears that the user who dropped it off last failed to properly log it at that time as well. Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Multiple "discovered" logs for Travelin Eagle. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=2168108 B. Quote Link to comment
+capthowie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 I see what went wrong now. It holders of the TBs before me did not log them into the caches properly and I thought by logging discovered it would add them to my inventory. Thanks for the help. I have gone back and cleaned up the logs. Quote Link to comment

I have gone back and cleaned up the logs. When that happens, you need to post a "grab" log to get the trackable into your hands. http://www.geocaching.com/track/howto.aspx If the Travel Bug is listed as being in a cache, you will have two options, retrieving it or grabbing it. If you took it from the cache in which it is listed, choose to retrieve it. If you took the Travel Bug from elsewhere, choose to grab it. Both logs require the tracking number, so keep the tracking number handy for the Bug you plan to log. Once you have successfully grabbed or retrieved the Travel Bug, it will remain in your online inventory until someone else grabs it from you or you place it in a cache. You also have the option to 'Discover' a Travel Bug under the 'Found it? Log it!' menu. This log type is used when you see a Travel Bug in person, but are not planning to move it to another geocache. This log type will not add the Travel Bug in your trackable inventory. B. Edited February 4, 2016 by Pup Patrol Quote Link to comment
+capthowie Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 That is just what I did. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment
