Trackable Etiquette<\/h1>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Trackables<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>Trackables are “game pieces” that add another level of fun to geocaching. Trackable owners generally assign them goals such as to “cross the Atlantic” or “visit 5\/5 geocaches.” The geocaching community helps Trackables reach their goals by moving them from cache to cache.
\nHow do you know when you have found a Trackable?<\/p>\n

Although Trackables come in many shapes and sizes, each one has a tracking code\u2014a unique series of letters and numbers\u2014stamped on it.\u00a0 This code allows geocachers to follow the items’ real-world travels online. A Trackable will also contain text indicating that it can be tracked on Geocaching.com or Groundspeak.com. The most common Trackables are Geocoins<\/a> and Travel Bugs<\/a>\u00ae.<\/p>\n

If you find a Trackable in a geocache, you are not required to trade anything for it, but please take it only if you are willing to follow some general Trackable etiquette:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Log<\/strong> that you have retrieved the Trackable from the geocache as soon as you can. This way the Trackable owner, cache owner, and anyone who may be searching for the Trackable knows that it is moving.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Check<\/strong> the Trackable’s goal by inputting its tracking code here<\/a> before placing it in another cache. The idea is to place it in a cache that will move it closer to its goal.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Drop<\/strong> the Trackable in the next geocache and log that you have done so. If you need to keep the Trackable for more than two weeks, please email the Trackable owner to inform them.<\/p>\n

Remember that Trackables are owned by other members of the community who are eager to see where their Trackable moves next. Before you take an item from a geocache, please check to see whether it is a Trackable and, if it is, only take it if you are willing to help it on its journey in a timely manner.<\/p>\n
