Basically, you put them in a geocache, and their location can
be tracked at www.geocaching.com. Anyone who finds the cache can
pick up the bug and put it in another cache. Some travel bugs
have a specific destination in mind so the people who find them
put them in a cache closer to their destination, other travel
bugs have no particular destination, they just travel randomly
around.
Here is a link that explains what travel bugs are and how
they work: http://www.geocaching.com/track/travelbugfaq.aspx
Here are the pages for the DML travel bugs which were
released during the National DML Meet last summer:
GenI: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TBQ286
GenII: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TBPPRX
GenIII: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TBQ1E9
GenIV: http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TBPWR8
Each travel bug is a piece of 16 gauge steel which was cut
into the appropriate shape, hand painted and then epoxy coated
for protection.
