It was great fun seeing you guys at the Spring Fling event and getting our Podcacher pathtags in person! Thanks! We enjoyed this week’s show (as usual) and particularly your story about the Watermelon Lanyard travel bug. Coincidentally, we had a very similar occurrence just recently. Way back in 2008 when we were first getting started in geocaching, we decided to try sending out our very first trackable. It wasn’t a watermelon but it was a vegetable… the Eggplant travel bug! Much to our dismay, it vanished not long after we released it, not an unusual TB fate as we were to learn. Over the years we did revive it a time or two with a replacement proxy, but it would just go missing again, and we never knew the fate of the original Eggplant. Imagine our surprise when 14 years later, out of the blue we got a message from a geocacher who found the original travel bug for sale in a Goodwill thrift store in Washington! We have no idea how it made its way there from southern California and what it had been through in the intervening 14 years. If only travel bugs could talk! The geocacher who found it said that they rescued it from the thrift store and planned to put it back in circulation, so we’re anxiously awaiting its next log! Thanks for sharing fun and funny stuff from the world of geocaching!
Great story – thanks for sharing! It was fun seeing you at the Spring Fling as well.
