The Von Fanges, from northeastern Nebraska in the United States, have signed over 100 challenge cache logbooks, at least one of which is related to moving and discovering trackables. We almost always retrieve any trackables that we find in a cache and do our best to discover any that are shared at events, but in just over three years of caching we are still way short of the number and type needed to meet the challenges so I am very appreciative of people who are sharing their trackables on various social media platforms—hopefully, I will not “virtually” discover a trackable that was not meant to be shared this way. If you did not personally share the TB code, I apologize for posting a discovered log. I hope that you will allow the log to stand since I actually did find the necessary logging information without using a code generator or other means although after a week of logging every single trackable individually my daughter has showed me how to use the “discover trackables” tool on Project-GC which allows you to discover multiple trackables simultaneously. The downside is that every log is identical, it is more difficult to personalize the log to a trackable or trackable owner, and you don’t know until afterwards if you made a typo resulting in a TB Code(s) that is no good and then you won’t know which specific code(s) was the problem. Even though it takes substantially more time I may return to logging every trackable individually since it allows me more flexibility but I will definitely remember this option for logging at an event where a more generic log is to be expected. I will be trying to discover a few Travel Bugs every day until I reach the number needed for the challenge but probably will not take time to differentiate the dog tags from geocoins even though I really only need to discover dog tags.
Thank you, Pete for sharing your families trackable codes on Facebook. If you ever want to add a few miles in the United States to any other trackables that you own, feel free to reach out to us. We will gladly take trackables on a journey with us—visiting every cache that we do although we are not currently doing a lot of caching (mostly staying home and staying away from other people).
