I picked up what appears to be a generic travel bug today, but can't find out who it belongs to and can't log it. It's a U.S. flag sticker with 6 numbers on it in a plastic sleeve that says "Generic TB" on it. Anyone claiming this or know what it is?

I came across a similar one. I didn't really like the idea, but the 6 didigt number did log as a TB. I logged it as usual just as tough the number were on a tag. It had no goal and wasn't any fun, but it did log. The one I found was a number writen on a Pokemon type toy, some sort of sea horse, it was also called Generic TB. I would think that they won't last long as some folks won't realise they are TB's.

Well now we know who did it, for some reason that puts a better light on them. I do remember now that it did show up on the list of bugs that I could drop, as a blank. But it did show every where else as Generic TB.

After a bit more research this A.M. I found where this bug came from. I couldn't find it when searching for it by name or number, but when I tried to log the number as a find, the page loaded. Guess I should have done that in the first place. Geocaching.com could make it a bit easier to search I think. At any rate, it still looks a bit weird. The bug was logged as being placed in VA Nov.22 and I found it in After a bit more research this A.M. I found where this bug came from.

Heres the link to the bug http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=734 .I e mailed the owners and when I get a reply, I will log it. Perhaps whoever placed it here in MN grabbed it and hasn't logged it yet. Holidays can be a bit hectic at times.....
