 We have made both of our cars into TB's, but now we don't know how to log their visits to caches! we have seen TB dip before, but don't know how to do that at geoccaching.com in the logs. If someone can help us log our "cache mobile", we'd appreciate it! |

Hi,
All you need to do is make sure your TB is retrieved into your inventory before you begin your geocache log and then select it at the bottom of your log before you publish the log. Then you just pick it up from that location to go back into your inventory.
Happy caching,
Dragonfreys |

| Thank you dragonfreys, however, when I logged all of the caches (wrote notes for previous ones and logged today's using the drop off and retrieve procedures), no miles were logged for the TB. It still comes up as 0km when I check the TB. What did I do wrong??? |

I see that Cache Mobile RABBIT hasn't even entered your inventory.
But it appears that you did Cache Mobile BIRD correctly.
I've noticed that sometimes it takes a day for the GC servers to caculate the distance and then publish it. Check again tomorrow.

I do this all the time with mine, you have to go to the drop down tab that says "Mark Item Missing" & click to drop down window & change it to "recalculate distance" then hit go & it'll update the milage & give you a map to go with it.

| If you are just writing a log to drop a bug, you should generally delete the log immediately as it serves no purpose and clutters up the cache page. The action 'bug drop' won't be reversed by deleting the log. |
