+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I'd tell you what I did but if you're gonna make yours better than mine then I'm keeping mine a secret, the heck with ya I'll give you the title of one of mine. The Ex-Wife Quote Link to comment
+bigredmed Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I have had a blast watching my two tbs in Germany that went there with an international Cache exchange. Might look into this. Send a couple of TB's to a different country. Give each a mission to go to some list of prominent features/cities/sites in that country and sit back and see if they are successful.

+Team Flying Dachshund Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 So maby I could make one that goes to Bethlahem? Quote Link to comment
+WalruZ Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 bugs that want to just go someplace are a pain in the butt. they usually wind up orphaned at airport bug hotels. bugs that just travel around are much more popular and much more fun. I have a few good ideas. But I'm not giving them to you. Get your own ideas. That's part of the fun. Quote Link to comment
+brad.32 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 What objects (vehicles, animals, etc) do you like? If you could travel anywhere (hmmm, mainly in the US), where would you go? Send one of those to one of those, or just have it roam. Look through some bugs that are out there. The gallery is one place to start. Keep in mind that most things have been done and keep it simple.

+New England n00b Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Something I read in one of the other forums and I thought a great idea: Write your TB's goal on a card and laminate it. Attach it to the TB chain. Now, if someone picks up finds the cache and hadn't read up on your TB, they will know what your goal is and either leave it for another or send it on it's proper way. For example, I go caching and find a TB. I take it and go south on vacation and place it in a cache there. Say Aruba or something. Meanwhile, your TB goal is to hit every traditional cache in your home state. Since I didn't read the TB description online, I just fouled up your fun. I wish I could remember whose idea this was. A quick search would probably tell you, but I am too lazy. Quote Link to comment
+brad.32 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Write your TB's goal on a card and laminate it. Attach it to the TB chain. AFTER you create the bug, then this type info is useful. Much of which is in the pinned thread "Snoogans' Tb Longevity Clinic". Quote Link to comment

+Gambrinus & Crew Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 We picked up a TB last weekend that I thought was pretty funny. It was a stuffed mouse (from www.spicemice.com) that "talks" -- Miguel Raton was his name. It was setup similar to what New England n00b spoke of above in that it had the goal with it. It was in a zip lock back with a piece of paper with info about travel bugs in general and about the goal for this one. It said that Miguel is a big fan of Mexican food and wants to visit Mexican restaurants and have his picture taken in them. The kids enjoyed the pictures we took of him when we went out to eat and we posted them in the log for the bug. Quote Link to comment
+treeOFHeXXus Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 this it my most creative bug yet... dont take my idea.. plzL@@K Quote Link to comment
+natiesrents Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 About a year ago my mother in law passed away. She was known to her grand kids as Nana. She was very much into the american indian culture and her ashes were spread in the cherokee indian reservation in North Carolina. In her honor my wife and I made a TB called Cherokee Nana. Cherokee Nana's goal is to travel to as many american indian reservations as posible collecting pictures of the area that it is visiting. Also as many pictures with real american indians from the reservations as possible. This bug will be launched in the next 2 weeks with a new geocach of ours near Newark Ohio. Quote Link to comment

+WhereRWe? & RULOST2? Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Go to http://www.stupid.com They have all sorts of things that would make a great travel bug. I know - I've got several out there right now! Quote Link to comment
mtweaked Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I recently picked up a homemade DVD TB that was very interesting. Makes me want to buy a DVD burner and make some home movies myself. But they probably wouldn't turn out near as good as this one. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=15051 Quote Link to comment
+Kitch Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 One thing about travel bugs is that your going to want to get lots of photo's on them.... I would suggest you have it as a goal to have the bug pic's taken with very common items/events such as .... your hometown cop car, baseball field, city hall, out shopping, stupid sign on the road, local beach, with kids, with pets, geocaching events, somebody's birthday party, with another TB, Tavern, etc.....

+geobaby Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I have two travel bugs that I am prowd of. One is "Do a good turn daily". It is a mini compas with a laminated not asking the person to do an act of service before forwarding the bug. The second is "Geobaby's story book". It is a little childs story book. When one logs on it is his job to add a paragraph. Many locak cachers have writain themselfs into the book. Quote Link to comment
