Current Goal

I want to collect other geocacher's travelers on my surface to travel along with me as a true "Community TB" (There's room for over 300 TB tags on me!) I want to travel from event to event in the company of Geocachers.

  
My ultimate goal is to attend as many GeoWoodstocks as possible. Well truth be told any event will do.

About This Item

Founders Bryan & Jeremy going for a ride.

I was in Canada working my way home caching along the way.  We stopped at GC1GMR to find this cache. I saw a place that I knew was where the cache had to be. After I looked this old car door over I looked at my GPSr and saw I was 40’ off. I went to GZ and made the find. As I was walking away from the old car door I told the other two cachers “This is where I would have hid the cache at.” We got in the GEOVAN but I got back out again and picked up the door. I had the idea of making this into an event traveler. Abachmeier and Muggle friend gave me a bad time about it. Little did I know that this door would cause more problems later. You see, the US Customs and Border guy did not think that someone should just pick up a door and take it. I told him it was litter and I was cleaning up. He asked me a lot more questions about this door. I finally had to confess that I was going to make this into a Travel bug for geocaching and this door will go to events for others to see. He remembered me at this point as the geocacher that has all the caches hid in Havre and that there are a lot of them in Pepin Park.  He told us to have a safe trip home.  
That is how the old car door got its start.

We discovered this eons ago at an event, but after logging all the TBs that were attached to it at the time (sounds like there have been more added since then), we sadly learned we didn't capture the actual info for the DOOR! Ugh!! We've finally managed to get the right code & log the main TB after all these years waiting, hoping for it to show up at GWS, Geocoinfest, MOGA or even Cachefest. Now, we can let it go on its merry way without having to stalk it. Thanks, & happy caching.

Discovered it most likely at an event but possibly in a cache. I'm clearing out hundreds of TB codes I've been saving on my phone for awhile. I apologize for the late log. Thank you for sharing.

Our first geocache in Colorado and what a fun place to hide a cache, but not bring a door along 😂 it was sunny when we started and dark when we got back to the truck 💪🏻

This is the coolest travel bug I’ve ever seen! I love the story! I ordered a TB to add while it’s in my possession. I took it to Colorado already I just haven’t logged it yet.

Discovered THE DOOR at "Bugsy's Bar & Grill and Shady Rest TB Hotel" (GC4K4N2) in Brigham City, UT. Very interesting history and TB concept. Thanks for creating this. Wish we'd had a personal TB to attach when we found this. Maybe next visit.

Discovered these a little while ago when I was up visiting Val. Fun travel bug hotel they have there. The car door that had this TB on it was a novel idea. Thank you for releasing your travel bug into the wild.
