The first batch of TB’s created by some Neenah-Menasha 6th grade students will be released into the Seton’s Eagle Nest cache – GC13EA5 – late this afternoon. This will be about 20 of a total of almost 70 we’ll send out. The next bunch will go out the middle of next week.
There’s quite a variety of TB items and missions.
Any Fox Valley cachers who are able are invited (and requested) to help get these underway.
Thanks a lot. Grandpa Jim
10/12/2007 at 11:34 am #1880096We will hopefully be in Appleton tomorrow and would be happy to help you! We could move them to Jackson or better yet, I leave for LA in two weeks and could even take one or two with me there if you are interested. Let me know how to meet you to pick them up or will they be in specific caches? 😀
10/13/2007 at 1:00 am #1880097The TB’s are placed and logged in to the Seton’s Eagle Nest cache – GC13EA5. This is an easily accessible cache along Highway 10 at Hwy 76, just a few miles west of Hwy 41.
Info sheets are packaged with each TB, so check the wide variety of missions. Some are generic ‘travel around the USA’ types, but others are rather specific about going someplace particular.
Thanks a lot. There will be another 2 or 3 releases coming up, so it would be great to get these moving and make some room in the cache for more!

10/17/2007 at 2:55 am #1880100If any have Orlando FL goals, and anyone can get them to All A Glow, I can give them an express ride next week.
AuntieNae10/21/2007 at 11:26 am #1880101Our school TB’s are trickling out to various points. A big THANK YOU to several cachers who’ve gone out of their way already in support of this project.
A final release of about 20 will occur around the middle of this week.
BTW, Gram & I will be heading to St. Louis next weekend. We’ll have a few school TB’s with us to turn loose down there, but if anybody else has any which want to see the big arch, we’d be glad to carry them along, too.

Well, we have a few TB’s in CA and in St. Louis, some scattered around WI, but there are still a lot sitting in the Fox Valley. Come and get ’em – look in Seton’s Eagle Nest at Hwy 10 & 76 (5 miles west of Hwy 41), or in Bear Bears TB rest stop north of Appleton on Hwy 41.
Thanks to Beasr Bear, Giz, and Sweetlife for moving some out for us!

11/08/2007 at 11:38 pm #1880103We have put out a new TB cache ( GC17508 ), “Seton’s St. M-M Travel Bug Retreat”, in the outskirts of Waupaca. It has quite a few of our school kids TB’s, as well as several others traded by the first couple of finders.
If you are in the area, it has very easy and quick access from Hwy 10, 22, and 54. Stop by and help move some of our TBs!
Thanks a lot!

12/05/2007 at 4:08 am #1880104Hello –
Mapping bulletin boards went up this week at school for our +/- 60 TB’s which are in England, CA, TN, MO, IL, IN, KY, WI, etc. Students not only use map pins to track their TB’s, they also will research and report on some of the locales. Four of our TB’s got swiped when a cache got muggled, they had 8.7 miles on them… and 2 more are shaky due to a disabled cache and an owner who moved across MO and hasn’t been answering his email. About 10 or 12 are stalled in caches in WI, but overall, most are moving around quite a bit. The last 5 or 6 kids who are behind should get their TB’s released this week, probably in our Seton’s St. M-M T.B. Retreat, behind the Catholic church cache here in Waupaca. Com Arts writing assignments associated with the TB’s are beginning this week.
We have also formed partnerships with schools in Saskatewan, Canada and St Louis, MO. Our kids will be swapping caching adventure stories as the year goes on.
A big thank you to the several cachers, caching teams, and families who went out of their way to post terrific logs and pictures, and put lots of extra effort in to getting these TB’s on their way into GeoWorld. This has been a great project which continues to generate a lot of excitement in our students. It has provided a central theme which has crossed curriculums in com arts, science, and computer ed.
