Caches with Travel Bugs

[+ceranes]

How do I search for caches near me that have travel bugs listed in their inventories?

[+T.D.M.22]

Open the container and look in. And I'm not being a smart arse.

 

When viewing caches it will say if it has a trackable logged in. But there's the problem. There's people who leave them without logging them, and likewise there's people who take them without logging them. Those people make up a seemingly large portion of geocachers. Then there's the ones that get lost. Ones in caches, and the caches (and contents) go missing. On the rare time that people do log the, properly, they don't always log in the field, they may wait until they get home. On a trip or large event that might be a few days or even a week.

 

So as you can see the only way to really know is to just come upon one in a cache.

As a Premium Member, you can design a Pocket Query for this.

 

"Have Travel Bugs" is one of the selection options in designing a query. If you've not used this feature before, you might want to read

this.

Or just go play with it works okay for many ;-)

 

Trackable inventories are somewhat more acccurate now than they were just a few months back, as Geocaching.com did a site wide sweep of long unlogged trackables - removing them from cache inventories, and putting into an Unknown Location instead.

 

T.D.M.22 is correct that just because a cache page shows inventory, that does not guarantee actual TBs. The more recent the drop, the higher the chances.

And sometimes you'll find trackables in caches with nothing showing in inventory.

Hello, how may I upload a photo when logging a Travel Bug?
