The Great PodCacher TB Migration

Summary: Listeners all over the world will start a simple travel bug, a TB tag attached to any container with a log sheet inside. They will be named in a standard way and have a standard document/log sheet inside. The TBs will start to travel, gathering names on the log sheet. The goal will be to gather names, and then travel to San Diego by June 30, 2007, to be placed in the following cache: GCXA12 (The PodCacher Treasure Cache - Collection Container). The winning TB will be chosen by raffle from the ones who make it to San Diego by the deadline. After the winning TB is chosen, we will choose a winner (by dice roll) from the names on the log sheet inside that travel bug.

Prizes: The person who started the winning TB will get a PodCacher GEOCOIN. The name picked from inside the travel bug will be able to choose a prize from our current prize box.

Raffle tickets will be awarded to Travel Bugs as follows:

  • arrival in San Diego by deadline - 1 ticket
  • most miles traveled - 1 ticket
  • most names on log - 1 ticket
  • most caches visited - 1 ticket
  • visited more than 1 country - 2 tickets
    1. Releasing a Travel Bug:
      Step 1: Create your travel bug by attaching a TB tag to a container of your choice (i.e. a film canister)
      Step 2: Print the Log Sheet document (PDF file) to put inside your TB
      UPDATE: Here is another version better designed for film cans (if cut): Log Sheet Mini
      Step 3: Name your travel bug as follows: "PodCacher TB Migration by YOUR CACHING NAME"
      Step 4: Release your TB and send us the link so we can watch it with you

      So, in order to win a prize, you could START one of the TBs, or you could make sure that you sign your name on one of their logs. You might want to coordinate in your local caching groups to see who will start the TB for your area.

      Additional Rules:

    2. The TB must be released after the contest start, with zero miles accumulated
    3. TBs must travel alone, not in groups
    4. A geocacher may only start ONE travel bug, but may sign his or her name to any TB they come across
    5. TB may be mailed (but NOT to the PodCacher PO Box)
      1. NOTICE: Rules subject to change without notice (in case we forgot to think of something 🙂 )
