Jomarac5 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 In the Vancouver area we have 2 'transit' caches -- Vancouver Transit and Fraser Valley Regional Transport. These are caches that you find, do your trading if you want, and then re-hide in a new location. I'm wondering what other cities/areas have these types of caches. Quote Link to comment
+bcrockcrawler, xstitcher, & BMXer Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 (Transits) Vancouver Island, Prince George, Kamloops, London, ONT There is one in Calgary called Stash and Dash The US has one in Michigan, another in Ohio and there is a variation in Georgia Thats the ones I looked at as I put VI Transit together. We live on a rock, ergo we rockcrawl....... Quote Link to comment
rifle6 Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Heck, i found two moveing caches this week. they must be getting more popular there are a whole bunch of them in Utah right now. some cachers are treating them like Travel Bugs. (going to a mets game) is one, one guy has two of them on a rave to VA. they are so common now that they have started little unofficial rules. " make a mark" to indicate you have removed the cache so someone else can see that it is gone . (grass teepee, pile of rocks, note that says cache is gone) just stuff like that. MY question is Why do we have Travel Bugs? if we have travel caches? just pay the 3 bucks and get a real TB! they ship very fast! just my veiw. RIFLE6 Quote Link to comment
+Old Joe Clark Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I just re-hid this one yesterday. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=35014 The GeoRover series is a very cool concept. Old Joe Clark Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I've placed one, but you never know where it is (I don't post new coords). This one went from cache to cache with only the last cache it's at stated in the log and that's it. It survived one iteration before going MIA. I'm about to bring it back with a new one. I did one moving cache and it went 3 iterations before going MIA. All the Utah ones seem to make it to Idaho and then stay listed long after someone found it and moved it on, so I don't even try for them. Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment
+georgeandmary Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I think the goal is to keep the traveling cache in its own geographic area. I have one and listed that it should stay roughly within my local county. george Pedal until your legs cramp up and then pedal some more. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Moving Target Quick Silver (Moving Cache) Now You See It, Now You Don't 50 States Calling All Nations That's just the ones I remember... There are two local caches that are specifically to be in other caches, but they are not Travel Bugs. They have their own container and log books, I believe.

+welch Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 The Post Card cache is a moving cache. Then theres this cache of mine, the leg stays put, but the final swings around(Staying inside the park!). So far the visiors seem to have liked it. Quote Link to comment
+Scout Master Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I just successfully sent a moving cache from Salt Lake city Utah to 100 miles north of Spokane Washington. (about 900 miles) Unbeknownst to all those who moved it, it had over one hundred dollars worth of collectables in the cache that I was sending to a friend in Washington. The Collectables were wrapped in a plane box with instructions not to be opened except by the final recipient. My friend in Washington was so impressed he has now Converted to Geocachism The cache now rests at the home of my childhood Boy Scout camp. Near Colville Washington. we'll See ya on the Trail Quote Link to comment

Just to be different. It's not the same as a TB. It's a cache. Mine has a logbook and instructions inside it. It moves on average once a day with the new placer giving the new coords. I try to update the coords if I can but explain on the page that they might be off. I've even gone to locate it a couple times. One time took me 10 minutes to find and another over an hour. And I made the cache and couldn't tell it apart from the other rocks around. If you don't like them, don't hunt them. There's many different ways to geocache. No one said we all have to like all of them. -- Not Necessarily Interesting News Quote Link to comment
