While the boyfriend and I are anxiously awaiting Spring to arrive, I decided to do a "Trackables: Where are they now?" update.

Trackables/Travel Bugs  are things that travel around from cache to cache. If you discover one in a cache, you take it, log it on Geocaching.com, then move it along. Most trackables have "goals", as per their description on the website.

So, let's take a look at the ones Chris & found and see "Where are they now?" :)

The "Hot Cold Travel Tag" trackable:

Released: March 2011
Goal: "I want it to travel anywhere but it must travel at least 3,000 miles. DON'T KEEP IT!!"

We found this one on October 28th, 2012 in a Cemetary during a nighttime geocache adventure. (It was around Halloween time, so we mixed geocaching with a dash of spooky ;) ) After we found it, we placed it in our favorite cache at Milwaukee's Safehouse (an old Milwaukee speakeasy). Since then, it has traveled to Texas, then to Honduras, Belize, Mexico and..back to Texas, where it seems to be stuck. It's just traveling all around Texas at this point.

Next up, we have...

The"Web.DE Club Geocoin 2010" trackable:
Released: Oct 2010
Goal: "I want this coin to reach New York and from there to travel to San Francisco. In case it really arrives in SF, I hope it makes its way back to Dresden (Germany) somehow."

We just found this coin last night (at our fav spot again, the Safehouse in Milwaukee), while out with a friend for Valentines Day. This morning I logged it on Geocaching.com and found that this little coin is quite the traveler!! It started in Germany over 2 yrs ago & has traveled to Belgium, Taiwan, Switzerland, then to a few states (so far): Florida, Illinois and now here in Wisconsin.

Amazing how far 1 coin can travel, and especially without being lost! :) We will be placing this in another cache soon to keep it moving along. Since it needs to head West, we will head West to find a good spot for it to keep it going on it's westbound journey.

Well it's mid-February and Spring is right around the corner! Whenever the weather gets nicer, our geocaching adventures will continue. Can't wait!!! :D
