Finding a lost Trackable

 

TravelFleas customer Sail4luv sent us this cute story from this past weekends geocaching expedition. While exploring the caches of Honeymoon Island Florida, 9 year old Ty was beyond excited to find a trackable in a geocache they discovered in this local state park. Realizing the TB was not logged as being in this cache, we did some research and contacted it's owner walk-away-renee. The owner was thrilled as she thought it had gone missing and made this post on geocaching.com "Yay! My trackable was found in this cache so I'll officially dropping it in it so sail4luv can pick it up. I cannot express to you how happy I am. This trackable has been officially MIA since August 2012 so I created another proxy expecting the original to never be used again. I'm so glad to see I was wrong. Anyways, I hope to make a find for this cache one day. Today is not the case."

Ty was mainly excited since it was a trackable and an alligator (ok mostly because it was a toy alligator...) and can't wait to find a cache to send this gator on it's way. The TB owner was happy to allow us to add a TravelFleas tag to go Along for the Ride. Soon this gator will be on the hunt again. If you want to follow the travels of "Crikey Fundraiser Geocoin", log onto geocaching.com and find him at TB4AX5N.

Halloween Broomstick Ride

Halloween can be a very scary time of the year for geocachers of all ages. You have to navigate through dark woods with whispering ghosts lurking behind each and every tree, brushing off big spiders with clinging cobwebs and blood sucking mosquitoes, hoping to find the geocache quickly before the sun goes down.

Just as things become downright frightening, your heartbeat races, as you sign the log with a shaky scribble, you jump as you see a horrifying sight in the light of the full moon of what appears to be a wicked witch on a broom out to get you! You relax when you realize it is just your friendly TravelFleas™ going “Along for the Ride” on a broomstick from cache to cache with a witch cat as a friend.

Time to run and get out of the dark and scary woods! Happy Spooky Geocaching!

TravelFleas Sighting in Pirate Lair

 

You hear it all the time, geocachers and pirates seem to have a lot in common. Both like to hide treasure, use clues to describe where their hide is, and challenge other buccaneers to find it. Geocachers are a lot nicer of course. Just find the cache and have fun instead of all that plundering and pillaging.

The West Coast of Florida has seen their share of pirates and their share of geocaches. Legend has it that pirate Louis Aury operated out of Anclote Key and buried treasure on Honeymoon Island in the early 1800’s. Honeymoon Island is a Florida State Park now and the only treasure seekers are geocachers and nature lovers.

Beth K sent us this great shot of her TravelFleas™ tag going “Along for the Ride” on Tapley, Pedernales Pirate #2 which was in the cache named ½ Way to Paradise when we wrote this blog. As you walk along the Osprey Trail searching for the cache and hoping to find this pirate Trackable, you can imagine yourself side by side with Louis Aury hearing tales of his exploits while searching for the right place to hide his loot. Who knows, maybe you will find a bit more on Honeymoon Island than just a geocache……..

Thanks to Florida’s Fabulous Treasures for their pirate lore.

TravelFleas Tags are great signature items for small Geocaches

‪Geocaching‬ TravelFleas are great signature items for small geocaches.
A customer sent us a picture of this innovative “Coconut cache”. A pill container is squeezed into a hole drilled into a coconut, then hung from some local flora and fauna “Florida Style”. While there is not much room for more than a log book, this customer’s ‎TravelFleas‬ tag fit nicely inside to leave their mark as a sig...nature item. TravelFleas tags are a great way to let everyone know you are a part of the global sport of geocaching. Being able to squeeze into small caches is a nice advantage for TravelFleas. A pill bottle in a coconut is an interesting place to drop off your personalized tag to let future cachers know you were there even if the log book gets wet, lost or changed out.
