The 2007 Jeep Geocaching Challenge begins on July 1st, 2007 in the USA. This year, it's a red die-cast Jeep Commander vehicle with a Travel Bug tag attached. As of today, we're enlisting geocachers to hide approximately 8,000 Jeep Travel Bugs in caches located in the lower 48 United States. If you are interested in placing a 2007 Jeep Travel Bug into a cache near you, please complete the request form, located here (while supplies last):

Cool! We're planning a couple of new caches, and it would be nice to have a new jeep to place in one of them! :D :D

I got my jeep today (http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?guid=cbdd9796-12a0-4f1b-bf5b-ca368e371e2e)! We're going caching tomorrow - weather cooperating - and we may drop it in the Lewiston area. :D :D

Woohoo! Mine showed up today. I've half a mind to take it into Ten Forty Pond cache since it's so remote. It certainly lives up to the reputation of a Jeep, but it would probably sit awhile before being picked up...

Actually, this is probably a pretty good idea! It would give other cachers an incentive to try for the cache if it is remote, and since the Jeep doesn't actually belong to anyone, nobody would be upset if it got stranded in the cache for a while.

:D :D

I thought mine was used too Nikki. Then I realized there was silver decoration which made it look distressed.:eek:

Can't wait to read about the contest.:)

I have a couple of questions :
1. Can you use a 2007 Jeep to enter the contest with IF you received it in the mail to circulate or do you have to find one elsewhere then enter?
2. Is there a place where members are posting the pictures that they have submitted for the contest?
Thanks alot.

#1. I'm not sure what the rules are, but I would think that if you were mailed a Jeep and had an adventure worth taking a picture of while placing it, it would count.
#2. http://jeep.geocaching.com/

Have fun.

Any Jeep you find or have mailed to you, you can enter the contest with. As Andy posted, all the rules for the contest are on that link. Oh and I just got my Jeep in the mail yesterday, I wasn't sure if it would make it to me since I changed addresses but I got it!!! Woo Hoo

Got my Red Jeep too,,,now I need to complete a cache that I started months ago. It needs a little paint and a good location. Once finished, the red jeep will begin its travels from there.

Cache On!
Peace

Received and released our red jeep. Mine too did not look so shiny and new. Almost "sparkled" it up but my husband was horrified. Oh well . . .

Or you could go the other way with it and start removing pieces of it to make it look like Hiram's Jeep . . . sorry Hiram ol' buddy, I can't help myself. ;) :D
