Current Goal

NEW BEGINNING - But mission is still to collect pins on my trip around the world.

THANK YOU to all the Geocachers who have added and help move this traveler along.

About This Item

REVISED - In 2008, I picked up my travel bug in Phoenix. A fellow geocacher from New Mexico sent me a message that he was dropping it off and if I wanted to check it out, he would let me know what cache he put it in. I took him up on the offer and was surprised to see it was completely full of pins. It was originally released with three others and only one other was still traveling around collecting items. Then I got nostalgic and I have been holding on to the travel bug not wanting to see it disappear with its' collection of history. A friend gave me a solution, RETIKON suggested I take a picture, remove the collection of pins and release the traveler again to collect more pins. I have attached a picture of what this traveler look like before I lighten the load of pins. Please add a pin to this bugs collection and keep sending it to interesting place.

When I have a TB in hand and come across another, I do a swap. Today, I dropped Linda (TB2R3XT) to pick up the pin bug... little did I know that I was picking up a bit of history- a TB in its second life. The lanyard has picked up 5 pins already. I'll get it on its way and hopefully take a few pictures of our travels in the mean time.

Picked up TB and noted that it only had one pin. Pic showed full. Glad to read the owner removed all the pins and placed back in service. Will add petroglyph pin from Geocoin fest SLC 2009 to TB and move on.

Wish I would have read this before going to the cache--I have double pens for places in Canada. Thanx for being one of the many TBs in TB Hotel.
