+brodiebunch Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 I have an inactivated Travel Bug in an envelope with instructions for my partner to have the TB number inscribed on my headstone when I am no longer around. That way I can contribute to my favorite hobby after I am no longer around. Has anyone else heard of this or seen this before? Quote

Just think of all the visitors you'll get! . Quote

How will anyone know it's there to log it ? It's not like someone can lug it around either... If someone's leaving the code at events and things, hopefully you realize that "saw this on/at..." is the closest to a eulogy many will give you. I went as far as to install a shelf in my marble bench (didn't want a headstone) for a cache container. Just waiting for a "drawer". The grounds has since changed their policy, so now anyone who still smokes will have an ashtray. .. Quote

Now if virtual caches were allowed it would be much easier. I have to have another 25 years left in me though. My initial desire was already vetoed: have my body dumped in the woods to degrade naturally with a toe tag reading "he was not murdered, he died naturally" 2 Quote
INTIMIDAT3R Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 My parents already have this and their gps coordinates engraved on the back of their headstone. Quote
+zachaquack1987 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 I've gone the other way. My older sister passed away several years ago. I published a travel bug to visit the places she would have liked to go. 1 Quote

I hope it continues to travel and complete its goals - unlike this one. https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=ea2f49cc-a0b0-4da0-9a3e-b273e190a94f Quote
+lee737 Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Releasing trackables for highly personal/sentimental reasons may not be a great idea, given the overall lack of care that seems to be taken by a reasonable number of cachers. Quote

It's doing pretty well: https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=6650335 Already gone all the way to Germany before I looked twice! Quote
