+geoguyver Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I am interested to see how big some people make them! Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) Cindy the Cinderblock is the largest I've heard of. Yes, it really is a block of concrete like you would use to build a wall Edited to add a link to Cindy's page Edited January 3, 2004 by Team GPSaxophone Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) LOL!! No one sould be able to forget to log that one fixed typo Edited January 3, 2004 by welch Quote Link to comment
Lt.Dan Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 (edited) I have plans in the works for a January release of "Big Honkin' 2x4" which will be about 4 or 5 feet long. But anything bigger than Cindy would border on too large to move around. I guess that puts the kabosh on Timmy the Toilet Bowl. Edited January 3, 2004 by Lt.Dan Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 No one sould be able to forget to log that one Ironically, I think Cindy has a much smaller chance of being stolen by someone or plundered at the cache site by a muggle. I mean, who's going to take a brick, even if it's sitting right there in the open? Jamie Quote Link to comment
+Metaphor Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 This one was about 14 inches tall: Te the Bali Idol, and I have this one of my own, a 3 foot by 5 foot flag, now languishing in a cache in England (please help!), The Old Line State. Quote Link to comment
+Mule Ears Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Encountered "The Pasadena Traveling Foot" which was, unsurprisingly, the size of a human foot (men's size 9, I'd guess). See TB18FD. The Foot gets around pretty well, too. Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Here in Sweden are there a fullsize beer bottle as a TB. It's called "Cheers, mate" and can be found here. Here's a picture of it: The big problem is just to find a cache that fits the TB... Quote Link to comment
Tracker Tom Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I JUST PICKED ONE UP, THAT MY NEPHEW MADE. IT'S A SHAPE OF A PENNY, BUT IT'S ABOUT 4 INCHES WIDE WANTS TO GO TO VEGAS Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Cindy the Cinderblock is the largest I've heard of. Yes, it really is a block of concrete like you would use to build a wall Edited to add Speaking of Cindy, I was watching "Old School" tonight. It's a movie about middle-aged guys starting their own fraternity. Well, part of the pledge's initiation ceremony was taking a block of concrete and throwing it off of the roof of a breezeway. The block had a rope attached to it and to the...men holding the block (if you know what I mean) It was an exercise in "trust", as in the pledges are supposed to trust that the frat guys made the ropes long enough. Everyone's block landed on the ground except one guy. His went through a manhole cover and kept falling. OUCH! I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in a long time! Quote Link to comment
+Possum Posse Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 This one was the biggest we have seen. Juliette Bear Had to wait till we found a cache able to hold it. Quote Link to comment
+Midway Cafe Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 This TB is 6'4" and 180#. Midway Cafe Quote Link to comment
+OurWoods Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Mr. Met is a full sized bobble head doll in a rubbermaid container. It's too big for just about any cache I've been to. Quote Link to comment
+Fritz_Monroe Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 This one was about 14 inches tall: Te the Bali Idol, and I have this one of my own, a 3 foot by 5 foot flag, now languishing in a cache in England (please help!), The Old Line State. Metaphor, Just e-mailed a friend that's leaving for England next week. I asked him to look in on The Old Line State TB. You want it back in the States? F_M Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Speaking of Cindy, I was watching "Old School" tonight. Smurfy, funny movie - I've seen it! Poor guy... The biggest TB I'd like to MAKE is about 5'10" tall but I can't get my Mother-in-Law to wear the dadgum tag! Quote Link to comment
+Metaphor Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Thanks for the help Fritz_Monroe... Just getting it moving would help. I'd like it to return to Maryland someday, but for now, traveling the world is its goal. Any help would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 The biggest I've seen is a full-sized spare tire, mounted. I didn't help it along. Quote Link to comment
dreamgear Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The "Grabber MagneTV" TB is a steel chain dog collar about 2 feet long festooned with about 20 keychains. It collects keychains, and is the biggest I've seen. I moved it from Battle Ground WA to Winchendon MA so I had to add two keychains, one for each end of the trip. Quote Link to comment
+hedberg Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=20124 The link above goes to a real fullsize (well, not really fullsize ) car that are a travel bug!!! Very neat idea... Quote Link to comment
+Nappy10 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Where can a travel bug as big as "Cindy" be placed? I am from CA and havent come across many cache locations where it wouldn't be stolen (if someone would want to). Quote Link to comment
+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I have a TB called the exwife. She was about 110 pounds as I recall but it was all mouth. Some guy picked her up and took her to hawaii. Then another guy picked her up and took her back east and left her in a now drift for the winter. Eventually she got picked up by a loser who has kept her. Go figure Quote Link to comment

umc Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Where can a travel bug as big as "Cindy" be placed? I am from CA and havent come across many cache locations where it wouldn't be stolen (if someone would want to). She can be placed anywhere. Here is what Cindy says on her TB page in regards to your question: From Cindy: Please take me where you may so that I can see these caches and the world. I already know I will probably end up at the short caches because of my weight but thats ok. Since I wont fit in any of the caches just place me near the cache and cover me up well. She has traveled 661 miles so far and thats only been in MI so she has hit a few caches. I think people just place her near the cache or a little distance away as to not give away the cache location. Funny thing is that she has been making all sorts of appearances at the events we have here so that everyone can enjoy her and then she gets passed on. Its amazing how popular she became in just a short time. Quote Link to comment
