Current Goal

I maintain records on my trackables. For a US-based trackable, this one is unusual for its longevity and movement. In the six-year period, 2010-19, the owner released a total of 3,793 trackables in the United States (96%) and Europe (4%). This trackable is one of the 5% of the total that circulated for at least 5 years and had been moved at least 25 times. That is a target rate of at least five drops per year for five years, or a drop every 73 days. The average drop rate of my trackables in the US is 124 days, in Europe it is 71 days. As of 13-Feb-24 this trackable had survived for 8.9 years and had been moved by 31 cachers, for an average drop every 105 days, or 3.5 drops per year. Please keep it moving, then drop it in a safe place!

No permission is needed to leave the U.S. While in the U.S., please drop it at an event, in a Premium Member only OR a rural cache near a busy trail or road. Do not place it in an urban, non-premium cache. Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean and dry, protects the number and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the trackable anywhere you wish.

Discovered this cool TB/trackable/Tattoo while in Texas for the Texas Challenge and to visit family. This was the 3rd Texas Challenge that we have made the journey from upstate NY to attend. Well worth the adventure! Thanks for sharing. Happy caching!

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Texas Challenge Weekend - one of my favorite events during the caching year. We headed out from Dallas at 6am on Friday the 13th grabbing 18 different counties and New Mexico then spent Saturday competing/winning Challenge and then Sunday driving back to Dallas via all the panhandle counties. Somewhere along the line - I discovered your trackable. Thanks for sharing!
