It’s a Duck Eat Duck World Out There…
On August 30, 2001, Geocaching.com Founder Jeremy Irish activated the world’s first trackable, TB1. Jeremy says, “When we first started Travel Bugs, I released 7 Deadly Ducks in the wild.” Each of the new trackables were based on one of the deadly sins. These Deadly Ducks, with the names of Envy, Sloth, Pride, Gluttony, Lust and Wrath, headed out into the world to travel from geocache to geocache. (The Greed Deadly Duck was placed in a geocache that was never listed on Geocaching.com and may still be hidden in Virginia.)
Thus began a game within a game: trackables. Today there are more than 2,655,951 trackables traveling around the world — making friends, creating memories and patiently waiting to complete their mission.
In honor of the 15th anniversary of trackables, we’re hosting a worldwide trackable race featuring the reincarnated Deadly Ducks. You’re invited to enter!
The race will begin July 20, 2016 at 12:01am PST (5:01pm AEST) and end on August 20, 2016 at 11:59pm PST (4:59pm AEST).

Rug up and enjoy an outdoor geocaching event.
We very much look forward to your company. Please feel free to bring any TB's (including your ducks) for swapping and discovery too.
If anyone wishes to release their duck at this event, make sure the person who is taking it knows what the goal is of your duck.
