Deego Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I have one travel bug tag left. Can I make me a travel bug? would anybody want to log me? (I doubt it ) And how would it work. if somebody meets me and gets the bug number would they just grab it from me, then I would have to grab it back again. (messy logs !! and not much mileage). maybe not such a good idea after all I bet its been done before. but cant find any. Quote
Leoness Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I read somwhere in the forums that someone had created a TB which never left their possession but which they logged into and out of every cache they found (which is effectively the same thing as making YOURSELF a TB!). By doing this, they had a complete log (on the TB page) of every cache they'd visited. Quote
+Chris n Maria Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Nothing wrong in that - we have a travel bug who rarely leaves our side (unless there are rabbits about). CnM Quote
+rutson Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Cabe Troll and Joan have a Geocoin they use that way, there is a Human TB somewhere, I've seen it on the forums somewhere. Quote
Beer Monster Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 If I remeber rightly, Stu and Sarah have their Mini as a TB, able to be grabbed temporarily by any cacher they meet on their travels. You could do the same - any time you meet a fellow cacher, give them the number and drop it into the cache as you make your log. Once they're retrieved it you simply grab it back. You'd have to fix the tag to yourself pretty securely so it doesn't come off in the shower! Quote
Deego Posted October 15, 2004 Author Posted October 15, 2004 You'd have to fix the tag to yourself pretty securely so it doesn't come off in the shower! Cant see ANYBODY coming in to the shower to log my TB ;) Quote
+1100f Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 You may need a food blender to get yourself in a 2L cache box!!!!! Quote
+Team Maddie UK Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I have also seen in the forums about a cacher who has the TB number tatooed on his arm so that anyone he meets can log him. Doesn't necessarily have to be at a cache but is popular at cache meets. The logger can log it in and out again so that you do not have to. Sounds like a good idea. Lynn Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Sounds a good idea to me. Have heard of a few cars being tb's and have a vague idea that one or two people are tb's. Will the TB be ready for the morning though. Tony Quote

davester Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 How many walk-in caches are there? Actually......the existence of one WOULDN'T surprise me. Quote
Deego Posted October 15, 2004 Author Posted October 15, 2004 (edited) I belive there is one in Lymm tomorrow. Edited October 15, 2004 by Deego Quote
+Pharisee Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 How many walk-in caches are there? Actually......the existence of one WOULDN'T surprise me. I think the 16th Century Pub mention in another thread qualifies quite nicely as a 'walk-in cache' Quote
+Firth of Forth Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Can I make me a travel bug? would anybody want to log me? (I doubt it ) After a few drinks one night with an old university chum visiting from Australia (I converted him to geocaching by email), we got carried away with the notion of me turning myself into a roving cache, a bit like the moving 'Ye Olde Survey Monuments cache' as a way to attract and meet single men. In the cold light of day, it didn't seem like such a good idea! Quote
+aRRKS Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 Can I make me a travel bug? Just seen this on the Event page - still laughing, great idea, see you tomorrow Quote
+wildlifewriter Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 ..we got carried away with the notion of me turning myself into a roving cache, .. as a way to attract and meet single men. In the cold light of day, it didn't seem like such a good idea! No doubt. We'd just log you, and then... never call, never write... It's always the way. Quote
+klaus23 Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 I made my car a TB and began to log all the caches I'd driven to. After about 40 caches I had about 6,000 miles up and I haven't logged every cache yet Quote
+DomHeknows Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 but what happens if we log you and don't want to give you back?......or is that likely? Quote
+Team Maddie UK Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Deego, It was very nice to meet you today and a great pleassure to log you as a found TB. I did however return you to the great TB cyberspace. May you never go missing for it would be a great loss to us all. Lynn Quote
Deego Posted October 16, 2004 Author Posted October 16, 2004 thanks to everyone who logged ME :D :D Quote

You're correct Beer Monster. It's had a few "finds" so far, with one person who lives locally keeping a lookout for our car wherever he goes as he hasn't found out the travel bug number yet. It's in a extra tax disc holder on the front windscreen just above the tax disc. here it is Edited October 18, 2004 by stu_and_sarah Quote
+Fangsy Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 *strum guitar* ahem! ~They seek him here. They seek him there! His tubs are round, and sometimes square! Oh you can log or track him, but he doesn't give a care. Because he's a dedicated follower of caching!~ *bows and exits stage left followed by much cabbage* Quote
