What a long strange trip it's been....
I first became aware of this unique and cosmically cool Travel Bug roughly 3 years ago, and like other Tucsonans, became excited at the prospect of it reaching (someday) the Old Pueblo.
But weeks turned to months, and then to years, and it slowly faded from my mental radar.
The amazing fact that it has now made it to Arizona, hand to hand by a long string of cachers, fills me with a good deal of happiness.
While I spied it briefly at the event cache in Yuma a couple of weeks ago, I was so preoccupied with chasing my kids around that I didn't get a good peek.
Luckily, it made it back to Tucson, and I got a chance to see it up close and personal-like at Sunday's event cache. Here's hoping a little good karma rubbed off from the stick to me. I know it's already made one incredible journey in the hands of ShadowAce, so rest assured that its travels will continue and meet many other cachers for years to come.
