+brodiebunch Posted August 4, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment

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

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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
INTIMIDAT3R Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 My parents already have this and their gps coordinates engraved on the back of their headstone. Quote Link to comment
+zachaquack1987 Posted September 23, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
+lee737 Posted September 25, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment
