Dropped a YJTB off here last night!Ironworks: The Rustic

Dropped off a YJTB in Conspiracy Theory today.

Happy hunting!

There's one I logged out and back into the Foreign Coin Exchange today. I really wanted to take it, but was able to refrain from doing so

This may be a sttopit ?, but how do I tell which YJTB is which?
I have 3 in my inventory and want to drop a couple in Slidell, La this weekend. How do I know which one is which? The tags have alpha numbers, but my inventory has actual digits.
How do you keep track of these things?
Too much hassle.

I make note of the # versus the tag # when I log em for the first time. Then either make "dots" on the tag with a sharpie or put a note with em and toss it before I place em.

On the jeep page, http://jeep.geocaching.com/ put in the tag # of the jeep and it will tell you what jeep # you have - yep, it's dang confusing when you have several to keep track of. And then AtlantaGal's got the right idea to keep track of them afterwards.

Thanx. That's just what I needed to know. Yea, it's a hassle. Reminds me of the Magellan fiasco last year.

Just picked up Happyspider's used jeep from The Tavern and dropped off a new one with 0 miles on the odometer!

WHen I grabbed the new ones the first time I went to their travel bug page and used the "Print Bug Sheet" to print up a sheet. The sheet has the jeep number on it. I put the sheet and the jeep in a ziplock and it is easy to keep track of which is which.

Little late posting this, but the Jeep is still there.

I placed a YJTB in Mtn Man's 2nd Anniversary Gold on Friday. KInd of funny too because he placed one in Felix's Fortress the same day. That one is gone already tho.

I picked up TB 0963 today from MOTOR SPORTS REVISITED and placed it in my new Pit & Pendulum cache, awaiting approval. So FTF also gets a Jeep.

For NE Georgia geocachers, I placed one in Authorized Tallulah Gorge Cache.

Just dropped Felix the Georgia Travel Cat and YJTB #0935 in the Wanderer 1 cache for this weekend's meeting.

Looks like YJTB #3144 was pulled out of Conspiracy Theory on 7/5/04 but the visit and the grab was never logged.

I'm posting this to prevent anyone from going after the bug and not finding it there. This just happened to acuttie, and I'd like to save other cachers the legwork if they're just going after the bug. I'd like the cache to get visited, but not if the cacher doing the hunting just gets disappointed at the final stage.

As the cache owner/hider you can mark a t-bug as missing. Login, go to the cache page, click the bug link, on the bug page you can mark it missing. The database will record the bug is in an unknown location. If someone logs the bug later it will be marked as in their hands. This will keep people from hunting the missing bug in your cache.

Thanks, Allen.

I've marked the TB as missing and it's now off of the cache page.

I guess I'll get more knowledgeable about these things as I place more caches and continue getting advice from the experienced cachers.

Regards,

Cool! I was wanting that feature a couple months ago. Glad to see it was added!

It's been a month since 40 YJTBs were given away at the June GGA meeting, and 9 of them are still listed on the page. What gives? That's nearly 1/4 of the jeeps.

I think it would be possible to guess who has them based on who showed up and who hasn't logged one since everyone that showed up was able to snag one. Maybe an email can be sent to those folks at the meeting that didn't log a jeep yet to ask if they were given one, and remind them what they're expected to do.

Great suggestion Mushtang! I'll be sure the Powers in the SC try to clear the logjam. Surely we can dislodge some of these lazy Jeeps!
