Black Mage Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) I think my fave would have to be Mighty Hercules, mostly because of the story behind how I got it. I started off going to find MH in a cache not far from where my dad works, but when I got there someone had already taken it, so I just moved on to the next cache. SIgned the log, traded and took off to cache number three. I found the cache, unscrewed the top, lo-and-behold there was Mighty Hercules. It turns out that the cacher who took MH out of the first cache had placed it in a cache in a nearby canyon. Just minutes later aonther cacher had taken MH out of that cache and put it in the cache I was going to. It's like Mighty Hercules wanted me to find him.

+Q2XL Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 My favorite is "US NAVY Toilet Handle Travel Bug" because after I handed it off to my sister-in-law "Zule" in Ohio she got busted in airport security trying to explain why a toilet handle with a "dog tag" was in her luggage heading to Vegas About busted a gut watching her trying so spin her way out of that Quote Link to comment
+BilboB Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I recently saw a real pay phone with a TB tag attached to it! It is somewhere in NY right now. Saw it in one of the forums recently. That is the best so far! Quote Link to comment

velma13m Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Why would you use a Pay phone for a TB, besides that how doese it go from cach to cache!? Quote Link to comment
rescue557 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Why would you use a Pay phone for a TB, besides that how doese it go from cach to cache!? Bragging rights, I guess. Who else has one? Nobody yet, and if they were to do so, I'd be the first. Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Here is my personal favorite travel bug that I have ever logged: Cricket the Travel Bug The little guy is so darned cute it is amazing he hasn't disappeared yet like so many others. We had a great time traveling around with him before we found a home. As for caches I haven't personally logged, the pay phone (mentioned above) and Cindy The Cinder Block are my faves.

+mortaine Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) Well, my favorite of the ones I own is Austin's Joke Book. This is a really ordinary yellow Rite in the Rain notebook that I released almost 2 years ago in California. Its goal is to reach my nephew Austin in Missouri, collecting kid-appropriate jokes on the way. In the time since this travel bug began its journeys, Austin has gone through a lot, including his parents divorce and remarriages, new stepsiblings, and he started school and learned to read! That last bit is very important, because it means he'll be able to read the bug when it gets to him. My mother, who I introduced to geocaching in 2003 and who lives near my nephew, has been eagerly watching this bug as well; she gets excited every time it gets 50 feet closer to her house. According to the latest log, it has 6 blank pages left and is going to Florida before heading back towards Iowa. What's special about this bug is that it's travelled so far to get to my nephew, and in the process has spread a lot of humor on the way. As of its last pickup, it had travelled 5,860 miles. Also, Austin does not know that this travel bug exists. He knows about geocaching-- it's something that his grandma and aunt do. But I wanted the travel bug to be a surprise, in part because I didn't want to get his hopes up in case anything happened to it on the way. Judging by a recent picture posted to the log page, it also looks like the joke book has picked up a hitchhiker tag. Which is totally cool. Mom and I are excited about its imminent arrival, and look forward to helping Austin put together a Show and Tell presentation after it arrives.

+BlueDeuce Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well, my favorite of the ones I own is Austin's Joke Book. That one looks like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Markwell's Geoffrey, the Ultimate Geocacher I like how the storyline/goal was written up. The music is ok, but thankfully the it can be turned off . Geoffrey once visited a cache of mine in late 2001, and I've been watching it travel ever since. I also think it was the one of the first, if not the first 'offical' travelers to visit my area. Quote Link to comment

Smejk Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) My favorite, simply because of the bug and its mission. Even in a post September 11th (Please get people to stop saying nine eleven, that lessens the meaning somehow) this is a very patriotic gesture.

luvs2bake Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 My favorite is "The Rest Of The Story...." TB (TBJ3YP). Cool idea. I saw it at a Geogathering but couldn't grab it. Quote Link to comment

+AuntieWeasel Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 My favorite so far is Show-Me State Capitols, mostly because people have been very good about playing along with its mission. Taking it to state capitols and adding a keychain or token. It's a heavy bug now. Here's Providence's addition: Quote Link to comment
+Perfect Tommy Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 My favorites? All of mine, of course. Like ideas and children, there are none more wonderful than your own. As to ones I have stumbled across in my wanderings, I enjoyed my travels escorting The Jack Report around to the major news outlets in NYC. I also enjoyed la Clef d'Hormel if only for the reason that I find myself using the term "wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot bargepole" with greater frequency in daily conversation.

Hooray! That one's mine. It was my very first travel bug, and I lit on it by wandering around the house looking for something interesting but not heartbreaking to part with. I remember you. You're the one with the Starbursts and RC Cola. Mmmm...how's your dental hygeine? Quote Link to comment
+Perfect Tommy Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 AuntieWeasel Posted on Feb 21 2005, 07:42 AM I remember you. You're the one with the Starbursts and RC Cola. Mmmm...how's your dental hygeine? Teeth are overrated. Dental prosthetics at least come with a warranty. Keeping this on topic, also enjoyed helping Tigger, one of the first travel bugs, complete his mission. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Then there was Pete the Parrot. Nothing special about his mission, but I decided to take him on vacation with me at Christmas. Photographed him wherever I went. Got kind of attached to Pete; hated to leave him behind. Quote Link to comment
