Geocache Description:

Several times i had found myself looking for a cache to drop off a geocoin or travel bug that i had been holding onto for too long.

Well, here is a great place to drop off those coins and travel bugs. Feel free to check in from time to time and see what is new to discover.

The cache is a 50 cal ammo can. Plenty of run for even some of larger TBs.

Parking available within 150 feet

Note to cachers: Travel bugs and trackable geocoins are not a trade item, you do not have to put something in the cache to take one.You should not take something from a cache in trade for a travel bug. If you should take something from a cache, you should make a trade of equal value.

Now let's make sure these these TBs and coins stay happy. Logging movements of a TB or geocoins in your online log text is great but that doesn't keep track of their movements in and out of caches.

How to properly log and track travel bugs and geocoins:

Take a look at the tag attached to the Travel Bug or the numbers etched or engraved on a geocoin. This is the tracking number and can be used to log that you found the bug or geocoin. If it is a number from a coin, it must be a trackable at geocaching.com coin to be able to log it. Make sure you write it down.Please don't post pictures showing the tracking number in your logs or in the forums.

Now ; how to log that sucker:

Go to http://www.geocaching.com/track/ and there will be a box for you to enter the tracking number. Click 'search' and you'll be taken to the TB's personal page. Make sure you are logged into your account at this point. Click the 'add a log entry' link in the upper right. Select the type of log from the drop-down menu and enter the tracking number in the field below. Enter some comments in the box on whatever subject you like and click 'submit log entry' at the bottom.

The options you will see to log are:

1. Retrieve it from "Cache name"

This is used to pull the TB from the cache you found it in.

2. Grab it from somewhere else. This is used when you've found a TB in a cache but it's listed as being in another cache.

3. Write note This is used when you want to post a note to the TB page, but are not moving it. You do not need the tracking number to just post a note.

4. Discovered it

This is used when you are logging, but not moving it. This also helps the cache owner, TB owner, and future finders know the bug is alive and well and still in the cache.

If you return to the TBs page you'll see your log listed and the bug will be in your possession.

To drop a bug in a cache, navigate to the cache page and log your find. This time there will be a box below the description field that lists bugs in your online inventory. Select the proper action and submit.

Follow these steps and the TB and geocoins will be forever grateful ! !
