The easiest way is to be a premium member then setup a pocket query to search for caches with Travel Bugs in it.<br><br> '<span style="font-style: italic;">Pocket Queries are custom geocache queries you can have emailed to you on a
daily or weekly basis. They are in a format you can bring along with you on
cache hunts on your GPS and/or PDA. You can select a GPX or LOC text file
and/or MobiPocket eBook format that works with </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.geocaching.com/waypoints/" target="_blank">
supported software applications</a><span style="font-style: italic;">. Because of the detailed queries, each
search can run only once per day. You have up to 5 pocket queries run every 24
hour period.</span>'<br><br> When we get ready for a trip I tend to check nearby caches (many times ones I have already found because the search time would be less) and then you have to check each bug in the cache to see what the goal of that TB is. Saddly if you take too long to do this you might get to the cache to find someone took the TB that morning.
<br><br> As I live down in Tucson, I cannot really help you collect them to take. Maybe you could get AZCachemeister, Evil Fish, AJ.JR, <span id="SendMessagePanel1_lblEmailInfo">AZKiteflyers or one of the other friendly cachers to assist you in searching nearby TB's for goals?

</a> wants to travel the world and have pictures taken. It has not moved from the first cache it was placed in.<br><br> Basically what I did was found a cache you have located then clicked 'All Nearby caches' When you see the icon for a TB click on the cache page then read the descriptions of the TBs.
<br><br> I seriously think some of those fine cachers up in Phoenix can help you gather a bug or two if you ask them. Just check the profiles of a few of the cachers and if they have a goodly count of TB finds then they most likely do not mind helping you and the TB's make a goal or two.

We are new to this geocaching adventure. We love finding new places as much as our young kids (5 & 8) love finding the caches. We are traveling to San Diego this weekend to visit grandpa who has selected some geocaches based on places he wants to visit with the kids (beach, Sea World, etc.) How do we come across a travel bug that wants to hitch a ride to a new cache near the Pacific Ocean?
