In 2006 we sent a TB “Aunt Amber” in honor of a young lady who is handicapped to CA to visit her uncle. It made it from WI promptly to CA and then disappeared nearly 2 years ago, just one hour from it’s destination. We contacted the last people who had it in their possesion but never got any replies. Last week we recieved an e-mail from a person who found a cache that had 35 TBs stashed away in it. One was Aunt Amber. Our honoree Amber is very excited as are all the relatives. The people who now have it in their hands are making arrangements to get it to the non-caching uncle. Maybe we will get him to become a cacher.
I guess there is still hope for one a placed in a cache two years ago. It wasn’t mine, but I moved one from Antigo to Menomonee Falls and then it disappeared. I still feel bad about it. The next finder went to the cache for the coin and it wasn’t there. And they were the first finder after the coin drop. I went back twice to look around for it before thinking that it was stolen.
Same here – One I found in the Plover are was missing for a year. I brought it with me to the KB 2000 event in MN. It was picked up and on the move again! Nice to see them back in action.
Now if only the person that picked up my ‘just released’ TB at the KB 2000 event would log it was retrieved. I am starting to get nervous that my first TB was taken and never to be seen again at it’s debut cache/event!
