Got the travel bug? Scooby Doo Do

Well, we bought a travel bug which, as I've previously mentioned, is a metal dog tag with a serial number engraved into it that you set off on some geocache adventure that you devise.

Since our blog is called "lookin4AMERICA" we decided to see if we could get one of these things to visit all 50 States before heading back for retirement in Grass Valley.

We bought a little toy Matchbox car and attached the dog tag to it and deposited it in one of the desert caches near our home RV resort. It only took a matter of hours before it disappeared and it was on its way for the first leg of its adventure. Actually it's still on its way but we have received the first news, it has been spotted in the snow in Littleton, CO, and where it is headed is unknown. The party that has it merely has said that it is "heading east." How far east is a mystery but we'll know the minute it is logged into a geocache somewhere else.

We also have another one in our bag at the present time that we picked up the other day. It began its journey last August on the North Island of New Zealand. It's a little tennis shoe and it's called, "Just Sneakin'" We'll move it on in the next few days.
