I dropped three travel bugs on this Stage One of my trip - and two have been picked up so far!
If you have not yet explored the fun of geocaching, this is a great time to start. You can go to www.geocaching.com and start poking around the site. You can start off with the "Learn" tab on top, or dive straight into the "Play" tab, and either "Hide & Seek a Cache" or "Find Trackables."
To see where my travel bugs are going, hit the Find Trackables, then "Enter the Tracking Code of the Item." Two have been found and are on the move somewhere; you can put their codes here (one at a time):
- TB6F7R8 Library Corps of Discovery: Truck #1, dropped in Kansas
- TB6F7V6 Library Corps of Discovery: Truck #2, dropped in South Dakota (I was not creative in naming them!)
Still waiting to be found is the TB6F7VK , Library Corps of Discovery Helicopter; it's in a great park in Iowa - so if you are in the area, go check out the park and find it!(And the nearby library is great too, so stop in and visit it!)
Geocaching.com lets you give your travel bugs a mission. Obviously, the mission of all my travel bugs is to visit public libraries! I'm hoping to find some interesting library photos and/or stories from people. A future project will be to track down all the library-related geocaches and trackables, to see what people are saying about their libraries.
