flashj Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) I read someplace about the concept of logging a travelbug, but keeping it with you, thereby tracking your own visits to caches and getting a nifty map of your visits on the travelbug page. IS this a common thing? First I've heard of it, and it brings up a second question, if you do a virtual cache, can you legitimately log your travel bug in and out of it? Or would it just give the cache owner more headaches to have travelbugs listed on their cache site just opposite of the 'this is a virtual cache' indicator? scratchin' my head on this one, what's the popular opinions? -flashj: the Flashcat! ps: yes I misspelled the topic, and my maths aren't so good either...

+brad.32 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Did you mean symbolic or symbiotic? The practice seems to be pretty common. I don't do it. I know of virtual caches that have travel bug histories. At least one of which has a mileage TB in its history. If you drop off and then pick up the TB again, then it will only be checked into the cache a short time, 10 sec (?), then, practically, it's not going to show up as in the cache. It will go into the cache's TB history. Quote Link to comment
+Go JayBee Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 (edited) It IS done all over....as an example here's my Personal Travel Bug Reptar that travels with me from cache to cache. Regulars, Micros, Virtuals, etc. I just drop him and grab him. I DO however, delete the retrieved from logs just to keep the page cleaned up. It is always "in the hands of the owner" at the end of a caching day. I don't leave it in a cache. Hope this helps, JayBee Edited March 21, 2004 by jbhooker3 Quote Link to comment
WH Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 (edited) My personal TB is my car. Since its the real workhorse that get me around, it seemed appropriate to make it a TB. I will even occasionally allow other cachers I meet on the trail to log it. Edited March 21, 2004 by WH Quote Link to comment

Ya....but do you strap your car to your back? So your car does NOT actually VISIT the cache site? Cheater cheater...pants on fire. Quote Link to comment

WH Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Can you fit that CacheMobile in a micro? Just ask anyone whos had the pleasure of sitting in the back seat and they'll probably tell you that the car itself could pass for a micro. Quote Link to comment
