Sort of like the regular Travel Bugs, but it gets stuck on a car and can’t fit in an ammo box. So instead of traveling from cache to cache in a person’s pocket it takes that person’s pocket to a cache.
I bought one of these for an idea I have, I’m not going to put it on the Emperor, I’m going to put it on our rental car when we are out west. When I wrote in the Geocaching Forum asking what they thought about this idea I received only a few responses and none of them were overly optimistic that I would get anyone to notice it, let alone recognize what it was.
My harebrained (or hairbrained) idea is that I would post in the forums (both the regular Travel Bug section & the regional sections we will be driving in) the car description and a rough itinerary with the hope that someone in those areas just might spot the car. This is an extreme long shot, but I know that going in, so if no one finds it, I won’t be disappointed. Worse case scenario, it will still get a little play because I can log it in and right back out (called dipping) at every cache we find on the trip (that is if we find any.)
I’m planning on leaving it on the car when we turn it back in and hope that the minimum wage car washing guy won’t recognize that it doesn’t really belong on the car and doesn’t remove it. So even if nobody finds it while it is on the rental when we have it for 15 days, a much more exciting event would be if someone were to find the bug long after we have been back in Aiken.
Started down, went up, back down, still down.
