Where the South Butler School District is Touching the World! Mr. Cooper's Travel Bug Project!

 

On my trip to To New Zealand with a "Primary" Purpose- Peace! CoopSBPSthe United States in February, I was given a TB to bring back to New Zealand as part of a very special project. The South Butler Primary School in Saxonburg, PA, USA is using Travel Bugs released through Geocaching to educate the 3rd Grade about far flung cultures and places. Their teacher, aka clockdoc52 , instigated the project and the children have made the TBs themselves, with personalised necklaces (their initials) and other items included.

 

Our very own TB is TB2A5QQ To New Zealand with a "Primary" Purpose- Peace! CoopSBPS , aka Snoopy. It is travelling New Zealand and is always on the look out for new adventures.

 

Update: 03/Feb/2010. The class has 75 Animal TBs in 35 countries. And NZ had the first one! They have put together a powerpoint presentation at drop.io/cooperstuff for our enjoyment. Download this into a local directory to play. Cheers, GC.

DOC Logo DOC (Department of Conservation) have recently placed their first geocache. The cache is on Matiu-Somes Island in Wellington Harbour.

 

Read about it here (In search of a new hobby?) on DOC's Conservation Week blog .

 

The time and effort that several Kiwicachers (both registered and financial) have put into this and other upcoming DOC initiatives is greatly appreciated. As is DOC for recognising and embracing geocaching as an activity.

 

Is DOC ROCS an apt slogan?

Nic Vallance:

Image of Nic Vallance from Conservation Week Website Nic would really like to encourage people to go to NZ's wild places and enjoy them, and reminds New Zealanders that "there is something for everyone out there, for all levels of fitness and interest. You can take a five minute walk to a breathtaking waterfall from a carpark, or you can travel into the heart of our wilderness for days or weeks at a time.  It's your country, get out there and enjoy it!"

 

Sounds a lot like geocaching? Huh?

Re-enabling Your Cache after a Needs Maintenance Log
Articles - Hints and Tips
Written by GenCuster   

This is lifted straight from the weekly geocaching newsletter. And worth reiterating here...

 

TB TagsWhen a geocacher posts a “Needs Maintenance” log to your cache page, the page displays a Needs Maintenance attribute (a colored cross).  To let other geocachers know that you have fixed the maintenance issue, you need to remove the Needs Maintenance attribute by posting an “Owner Maintenance” log. You must take this step even when posting an “Enable” log, as this does not automatically remove the attribute.
