    Default Sheesh! One of our TB's is in CHINA!!!

    RULOST2? and I especially like picking up and relocating TB's, so it is a real treat to see that our GeoMaine Furby TB is in Beijing, China!

    It's odd, on the TB page it didn't record the mileage to China. That would have been impressive.

    That is so cool!! I also have a fascination with travel bugs and their adventures. I recently bought a Geocoin that is on its way to Italy. The owner of the website where I bought it is going there on vacation and is taking quite a few of them along and will release them during his travels there.
    A cache by any other name is still a cache

    The part that seems to take the longest is updating the check marks on the maps. Seems to take up to a week to show the caches you've already found on the maps.

    Are you sure he isn't up the coast at Big Al's in Wiscasset? I just saw him on TV the other day - he said he was on Route 1 in Wiscasset and I swear he was standing in front of the Great Wall of China!

    That is cool! Germany, too? Sometimes I swear that my TB's travel to more faraway places that I ever will!!

    Have you considered putting a TB tag on yourself and hiding out at a cache . . . maybe then you could log a few miles for free?
