    Kudo’s and a big THANK YOU to Sparse Grey Hackle & Blondie Bloodhound and Sandlanders for getting their hands on a few of our TB’s. We started looking at maps and geography lessons yesterday. 2 kids were pretty excited to be able to place their map pins, as their TB’s had moved and landed in a new cache. We’ll finish up with the rest of the students on the mapping and tracking process by the middle of next week, and then set up a process for them to check their TB’s at least twice a week.

    Right now, about one-half of our TB’s are still in their initial caches. It seems as though gas prices and the economy in general must be slowing down geocaching. Hopefully we’ll be able to get all of our TB’s moved out before Ole Man Winter slows things down even more!

      Yes, go out and get some of these travel bugs! The kids have worked hard on them, and their travel bugs are a lot better than some we’ve seen in caches. The TBs have their mission statements with them, they’re protected in plastic bags, and they’re ready to go.

      Don’t worry if the mission seems too grand for you to help one along. If you can just get it moving, someone down the line will eventually take it to Paris or to California or to the ocean or whatever. I would have loved to have done a project like this when I was in school!

      We just moved 5 of our school kids TB’s to our Seton’s Eagle Nest cache at Hwy 10 & 76, just west of Neenah-Menasha. These TB’s have been sitting in our Waupaca caches for 1-1/2 months. There are still a few others in Waupaca, but we’ll move them, too, in another week or so if they are still sitting.

      We also dropped a TB belonging to MaxB on the River of southern Michigan. If you are not familiar with Max and their TB operation, it is worth a look – check out their home cache GCK8ZV . Max has paid special attention to several of our school TB’s, and we found it pretty neat that we’d have a Max TB at the same time Max has one of ours.

      So we are pleased to extend our appreciation to MaxB as another great cacher who is helping our kids with this school project – thank you.

      Thanks, Jim & Linda, for making a special trip to pick up a couple more of our kids travel bugs! We appreciate it.
