+tgsnoopy Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 well I had my first encounter with a Travel Bug yesterday. I picked up Merv the Mamakuman from Bowentown Bounty and placed him in the new Kiwi Xmas Tree cache. Trouble was, as it was my first encounter, I didn't relaise you need to record his tracking number to log his travels Oops. Hopefully I'll have this resolved in the next few days, I'm hoping to go back down that way on Wednesday, and have also e-mailed Mamakuman himself to ask politely for the number. I just thought I'd mention it in here to save other geocachers the potential embarrasment upon their first encounter with a travel bug if doing a same day movement like I just did .

+ssarc Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 We havent come across a travelbug yet, hope to before too long. Have ordered a couple of travel bug tags so will release one in Nelson when it arrives. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment
+tgsnoopy Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 Well thanks to Mamakuman sending me the tracking number Merv the Mamakuman travel bug is now logged correctly. Putting him into a cache proved a bit more difficult than I expected, only cause I didn't know how. I actually had to read instructions to work out how to do it, of course once you know it's so simple its not funny. Live and learn. I suppose I should really have taken a couple of minutes to read the instructions first. I guess I'm just a Typical Kiwi Male, us TKM's love to try and do it on our own without reading the instructions and only read them as a last resort Quote Link to comment
