|

I have heard there is a new 2005 version of the little Jeep TB's. Is this true? If so does anyone know when they are going to be sending them out to the different states? _________________ King of the Jeff Gordon TB's!
They put that cache WHERE? |

| I was looking at the www.jeep.geocaching.com site and this year they are a white rubicon jeep. Now that I think about it where did all the yellow ones go? I haven't seen any since October. |

From what I understand, something like 90+% are out of circulation now due to various reasons. _________________ Sad state of affairs. |

The jeep that I released into the wild (#4089) is still on the loose. It was placed in a cache in the boonies of WI late last month... |

hate to even bring it up, but has anyone heard word from TPTB about these things? I heard from the national forums that they were contacting the distributors from last years deal and going about the same lines of distribution.
I'd be happy to help out, and I don't care if anyone despises me for it (okay okay, so I'm in it for the icon, for some reason I just like icons), get some here, send some to other parts of the state, let people whine and complain at me, etc... Awful lot of work for an icon I suppose, but I'd deal with it. |

At this point Groundspeak has only distributed them to some areas of the country such as Geowoodstock III. _________________ Sad state of affairs. |

| I've only retrieved two of the yellow ones. I was the first person in Minnesota to find a Jeep TB (#2094) and it is currently in Washington state. The other one (#3367) I picked up on Madeline Island, WI and brought it to FL. It was moved to another cache and now it doesn't show up on that page. I thought they were kind of cheap looking and therefore wouldn't be 'collected'. Someone proved me wrong again. |

I have placed one near the Minnesota/South Dakota border.
My son and I will be placing the others very soon.

Is there a way to search to find where the closest white jeeps are? Or do you need to just look for the white jeep icon in the cache listings? _________________ May the potassium be with you! |
