I wish someone would tell the author NOT to have the TB number showing in the photo's!!! :( :( :(
(I emailed her...)
I too sent her off an email explaining the finer points of geocaching. I also invited her to any of the upcoming events, especially the Mt. Agamenticus Caching event GCV2XC as it is in her area and I also invited her to join us here at geocachingmaine.orgQuote:

Sure, why not? :rolleyes: Actually, I doubt we'll be making that event :( Wendy Almedia is the correspondent that I tried to hook up with your Boothbay Register TB, which is one of the reasons I was so interested in its whereabouts. However, the last email I sent off to tjgreaton (where it was last seen) it got bounced back as undeliverable, I guess he or she doesn't want to be found. :mad: Kind of a shame, I think the TB only made it 86 miles! :( Sheesh! :rolleyes:Quote:

He still has the TB.
I could probably email them again, but... Sheesh! What's a guy to do???
:confused: :confused: :confused:
I've had correspondence with Wendy in the past and she is a member here and goes by the name of Robotbunny. And I also emailed her about the Agamenticus event when it first came out.
Thanks for plugging the event! I hope she gets to attend.
Thanks Smitty & Co. for your email, and Haffy6 for the Mt. A. info.
I'm not sure I understand the TB number issue. Anyone can go on the site and find a TB, and do it easily. Maybe you can explain the finer points of this to me and I'll be sure to blur out the numbers in my photo next time...
I also blog about my family's outdoor adventures (well, occasionally I do go off-topic) and often talk about geocaching, our TBs (we have some in New Zealand that some friends got going for us as well as a couple in the North America) and/or using our GPS. Even though 26 finds in a year is hardly noteworthy, we really do enjoy it. Here's the blog link if you're interested:
outdoors.mainetoday.com/children/kidtracks
And I'll try to keep up with the forum here but life gets away from me sometimes. My family is a busy one and work at the office (I'm there Friday-Monday) gets in the way too :-)
Thanks again for clueing me in on the thread.

Here is the link to GC.com page on Travel Bugs. http://www.geocaching.com/track/howto.aspx ***Note the last couple of paragraphs*** If you use the reference # and not the tracking # then cachers can still find its whereabouts but nobody else will have the tracking # until you release it into another cache. This keeps people from just using the tracking # inappropriately (ya, some people do :( ) when they are not in possesion of the actual TB. I think I got it :cool: ....can anyone explain it better?Quote:

Looks like you did get it just fine and hope that Wendy understands it as well.
Welcome to the website and hope to see you at Mt. A!Quote:

Good girl!! :D I noticed the numbers are now blurred out. Try to make that event on the 29th ;)Quote:

I'll try to remember to bring two or three dozen of the bigger egg laying rubber chickens to the next event I get to. I brought a bunch to Halloween Havoc last year and the kids had a blast with them. By the end of the summer I hope to have a third edition rubber chicken. It will be a stretchy rubber chicken. LOL
awww, they're not going to be out in time for the easter service?? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
