Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the travel bug anywhere you wish.

Photos in the travel bug logs are appreciated. I will be re-post them here, where they can be seen by other cachers.
This is one of a series of large beads obtained from different places and converted into travel bugs. They are named for Texas towns with interesting names or histories.
Jot 'Em Down, also known as Mohegan, Muddig Prairie, and Bagley, is in extreme western Delta County. The area was part of the James H. Larabee survey and was occupied by 1885, when the Bagley School opened. In 1905 the school enrolled forty-six students and employed one teacher. The location was shown on the 1936 county highway map as an unidentified settlement of one business and scattered dwellings. That year Dion McDonald built a new store and named it for Lum and Abner's fictional radio store, the Jot 'Em Down Gin Corporation. The normally humorless state highway department later used Jot 'Em Down as the community name for maps and the name stuck. In the 1940s, the community started a decline with the loss of its school. Jot 'Em Down, in 1990, reported a population of ten and it remained the same in 2000.
