😆 😆 😆 Love the idea to change the name, although I doubt the knucklehead would check the travel bug page anyways. UG, it really makes me mad, especially since these two bugs got a good start in life and now… gone. Oh well, time to order some more tags and get a few more out there I guess! 🙄
😯 I think I’ll go bonkers if they don’t get here soon! It is almost as bad as waiting for a baby to arrive. Sheesh! I have already had so many requests for our tag, I am glad we ordered 150, almost have 50 gone already! 😛
😆 With that name, boy I can think of a MILLION ideas! Good luck. I just went out to Microsoft’s clip art site and started looking around… came up with a quite a cute design and submitted it to one of the artists at the site to help with finishing touches.
The point of the tracking number from the owner who uses these as swag is to see where they get picked up and by whom. The purpose of the people who pick them up is to collect them. You can put them on a chain or collector hook and then also you have an online account to see all your tags/trade with others, etc… I would rather spend my money on these than to send my coins off and have them get ripped off. At least I know that the pathtag will stay with who found it and they can enjoy it.
I love it! I would buy one. I sure hope the idea takes off. I am working with the designer for our pathtag today, few more revisions and they will be going to the manufacturer. I am really excited about it. They would make great FTF prizes too. 😀 I think more people just need to know what they are. I plan on making some sort of little card to put them on to explain how to log and trade them.
😀 Thanks! I submitted my design today – can’t wait to get them!
YES! That is the whole idea 😀 The owner has a registration number for their pathtags. You get an account on that site and then log your pathtags that you find. You can even get a clip to keep them on. The owner has the fun of watching where they are picked up and you can trade them or keep them, check out the site. Some of them are really neat!
Great! Can you tell me how to get the coupon? I don’t remember seeing it on the webpage. I sent a design out, hopefully we will have them ready and ordered soon.
😆 Now that’s funny. Forgot I asked last year, you can tell I am worried about getting it. Man, you have a great memory. I have gotten better at identifying PI. The plant I am referring to is not box Elder as in the picture. Next time anyone is out in the woods, just look at the ground in the shade and you will see this three leaved plant and some do have seed pods in them that look like a bunch of peas squished together. Thanks everyone for trying to help! 😀
🙁 Hope you are feeling better soon – darn ticks! 😯 (I hate ’em) Glad you got to the doc though and can get started feeling better soon.
WONDERFUL coin! 😀 I can’t wait to get one! I really love all the colors and how it represents our state – great job! Congrats on winning.
Okay, but WHEN DO THEY DIE? Is it true that they die out when the temps go up around August? We did a smidge of caching up near Crivitz and I gave up because we came out of every one covered with the evil little buggers! 👿 Spray did not help us either…. 🙁
If Jeremy (head honcho over there at GC.COM) wanted this practice stopped, he would have by now put a limit on logging an event. One event, one log – you would not be able to log it multiple times. He has not done that. He changed the web pages, big time and could have added or taken away that feature, he did not.
I also feel that a separate category for temp finds should be added to the cache event page. The whole temp cache idea, I think, was not allowed from day one due to worry over geotrash being left after events, etc… I do not believe that happens. Temp caches I have done have been, creative (new ideas tried out), many are handicap accessible and close together – easier to find for those with disabilities, and hidden in places where normally people were not allowed to place caches before, i.e. in state parks prior to DNR regulation changes. I believe this game, sport whatever you want to call it has evolved since it’s inception. New and creative ways to hide things and find things are coming out all the time. This is just another way to “play the game” in my book and I don’t care if someone has logged 2,000 temp caches or not. It won’t change the way I play. Do the people who log these or have high numbers get some sort of multimillion dollar prize for the most found – nope – so who cares? I’ll tell you who cares, some guy in CA with nothing better to do than raise his BP and nose around in everybody’s bizness when he out to get out there and find some caches. 🙄 sheesh okay done with that now, back out to the skeeters, mud and poison ivy to have some real fun…
My opinion, I think it could have been done better. The fact that there was gum in the caches really “bugged” me too! Only a matter of time before some critters or insects have fun with that. 🙄 The cache under the tree, no camo on it, not covered, etc… Then they go schlepping through the cemetary 😕 and basically give the location away (wonder if the owner of the cache knows his cache will probably get muggled). Anyways, I just think it could have been presented a bit better with more emphasis on the important aspects of geocaching, not so much the trading of goodies. Such info as CITO, seeing interesting places, hiding/camoing a cache well, respectfulness in cemetaries, etc… Oh and by the way, if there is a committee, I would be interested in being on it!
An FYI –
Labor day weekend is August 31-Sept. 3, Grandparent’s day is September 9th (Sunday), if these dates make a difference to anyone. I also would NOT be able to attend on August 18th. 😀
