+kewfriend Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 It doesnt happen often but every now and then a TB turns up at Virtual Cache. Are these 'virtual TBs' or is there a new geo-cult variant that I am completely unaware of? Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 There are some virtual TBs about. I've logged this one: Geocachings First Virtual Travel Bug (Spooky) myself. You just grab it with the number on its 'profile' page and drop it off at another virtual cache via a note. Simple. SP Quote Link to comment
+rufty tufty boys Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 How do I explain this one to Mrs RTB? Finding tupperware boxes in the country - she was a bit sceptical at first but we've had some good walks, the junior RTB's enjoy it and she is surprisingly good at discovering the treasure. TB's the jury is still out but at least Rufty Tufty Bear has made it out of the country (my sisters baby may be "of age" before it gets to NZ though. Virtual TB's Mrs RTB is never going to understand that (not sure I do!!)! Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) "Spooky" may claim to be the first virtual travel bug, but I'm not so sure. I seem to remember a virtual TB being placed in one of my caches months or more ago. I think it was on a virtual world tour, and being logged in and out of caches by its owners. Edit: I've just noticed that SP effectively says the same, that there are other virtual TBs about. Edited February 9, 2005 by Bill D (wwh) Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Kewfriend is talking about normal TBs appearing at Virtual caches I think. I have no idea how that works in real life, except maybe if a TB was taken to a Virtual cache location, the cacher may well log it in to the cache page and out again. Quote Link to comment
markandlynn Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I've seen TB that was logged into Pompei (virtual cache) and taken out by another cacher who had been bumped into at the location itself. So there was a physical handover of the TB inside the virtual cache location. Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I've just 'released' my first travel bug and it's a virtual TB too: SUPERSONIC - THE FASTEST TRAVEL BUG IN THE WORLD? The plan is to keep it moving above the speed of sound (at sea level, std. atmos pressure, that's 761.18mph) and I'd like a little help. Thanks SP Quote Link to comment
+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I thought I'd have a go at this - it is now in spain - did I get it right? Bob Quote Link to comment
+P&L Good Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hope I did good too. Quote Link to comment
Leoness Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hope I did good too. It would be rather difficult for you to do otherwise! Quote Link to comment
+P&L Good Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 LOL didn't even notice that myself and I am used to it!! Quote Link to comment
Leoness Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 LOL didn't even notice that myself and I am used to it!! I'm a J Walker, so I tend to notice these things! Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I've just 'released' my first travel bug and it's a virtual TB too: SUPERSONIC - THE FASTEST TRAVEL BUG IN THE WORLD? OK - Supersonic has gone South to Spitfire. What's a J walker, please? Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Walking without due care and attention, I believe. It's illegal in the USA - Jay-Walking. I hope I've got that right. SP Quote Link to comment
Leoness Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Walking without due care and attention, I believe. It's illegal in the USA - Jay-Walking. I hope I've got that right. SP Jay-walking Ambling in the street; walking in and out of the traffic; crossing the road at an acute angle to the pavement etc., etc. It is illegal in several countries including USA, Singapore and Germany where you can be fined on the spot if caught by an officious policeman!

+John Stead Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Jay-walking Many thanks - but I never thought of you like that! Quote Link to comment
Leoness Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Jay-walking Many thanks - but I never thought of you like that! OK... that begs the question, "how DO you think of me?" Maybe you'd better not answer that in a public forum!!! My husband and I used to live in Germany (his initial is also a J) and we often saw a sign which said "Jay walkers will be prosecuted". One of us would turn to the other and say "OK... so what did you do this time?!" Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 OK... that begs the question, "how DO you think of me?" Maybe you'd better not answer that in a public forum!!! Maybe you're right! Sorry I had forgotten your surname and all is now as clear as it may be at this time of evening. Good luck with mopping up the soft southern caches like you did in a proper county - well next to Lancashire that is! Oh dear, will that start a flame war! Quote Link to comment
