I’ve had a bad run with 3 of my travel bugs going missing in the last couple of weeks. A while back I read about a Travel Bug Graveyard, located in the middle of the ocean somewhere, but thought to myself “I’m glad I don’t need to use that!” I guess I spoke to soon. Does anyone here know the GC# for that site?
Frizz, this might be the one you read about, though it is currently unavailable. I think people have been started marking them as missing instead. On your travel bug web page, there is a drop down box where you can choose mark as missing and it will move it out of your inventory.
If I’m right GC.com shut down the two Graveyards that I knew of. I guess they did not want anyplace to show the thousand or so missing bugs. I had to mark mine just plan missing.
It took me a wile, but I finally found how to mark a bug as missing. Go to your account, click on travelbug (mine), choose an individual bug, and use the drop down menu where it says recalculate distance. One of the options is “mark as missing”. Now that’s not too hard, is it? 😕
FYI: cache owners who have missing bugs listed on their cache’s page have the “mark as missing” option too. They just need to go to the bug’s page and the drop down menu appears there. Click on it and the bug will no longer show up in your cache’s inventory. Lots of people don’t realize they can do this.
I don’t know why geocaching.com doesn’t explain this better to everyone.
