+Kealia Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just got this log today: Ok, you're totally not gonna believe this but this evening, my whole family & I went out for supper & then we wandered over to the nearby Dunham's Sporting Goods store where my smarter better half & I looked at kayaks & just generally browsed thru the store. While looking at kayaks, another customer walks up & is looking at the kayaks & he hears us talking about river caching. One thing leads to another & he says he's a cacher & he has a couple TBs he picked up awhile back. He asks me if I'd like to have them & move them along for him. So, naturally, being the TB nut that I am, I agree. I had no idea this one has been MIA for so long!! So, long story short, I have your TB, it's still in great shape & I'll be putting it back out really soon. I'll try to put some miles on it in the meantime. Thanks for sharing such a neat coin! It's been gone for almost 6 years now. Wow. But I have to ask....this other cacher obviously knew he had the coin - why did he sit on it for 6 years?!?! Either way, I'm glad it is back in the game.

+cainrcc Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's great did you already have it marked as missing ? I have done that then a year or so later it gets dropped in a cache Quote Link to comment
+brutemus1 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wow that is unfortunate. I've noticed that a lot of caches have things in their inventory but in reality the trackables aren't there or haven't been active in a few years. It is disappointing. I haven't placed my trackables yet and I hope this doesn't happen to mine. Quote Link to comment

+sweetlife Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 wow, what a very cool story. what geocoin was it? Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 It turns out this one is owned by Hula Bum and is a TB not a true geocoin. But, we did attach a 9/11 memorial coin to the TB so it's sort of a geocoin...... Quote Link to comment
+hofy67 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 This is why I never proxy a missing geocoin or travel bug. They may show up again someday. I have a few that went MIA for over a year and one that was MIA for over 2 years that one day just started moving again. Quote Link to comment
