About This Item

San Diego or Bust? ...Bust

This 1963 Volkswagon Bug was bought by my grandfather from the original owner in 1964 in Southern California. He drove it to work and back for years. Durring that time, it was broken into, stolen, and even had an engine fire. Even though the odometer turns over every 100,000 miles, he put over a quarter of a million miles on it. It was then passed on to my uncle who kept it running, but it was still showing it's age. When I was in high school, he traded it to me for a 486 computer. I think I still owe him... Now, it's on it's fifth engine, and has 350,000 miles, over a third of a million miles on it. Before I pass it on, I hope to have driven it to it's 500,000 mile mark, half a million miles.

Here's the dog-tag number, but please only log it if you actually see the travel Bug at an event or something: 530138.

Thanks to the 2023 Christmas Day blizzard my daughter, JMVonFange, was delayed in heading home so we spent the bonus time together comparing our caching statistics including trackables discovered and looking through our geocaching pictures. JM has discovered significantly more trackables that I have mainly because while we were staying home during the pandemic she spent time online and spotted numerous TBs that were being shared virtually. After looking at the TB page for each TB that she discovered that I didn't I found a number of TB Codes necessary to discover the trackable where included on the TB Page or in the photo gallery. Sometimes there was an attempt to obsure or hide the TB Code that was not entirely successful making it easy to determine the code needed to discover the travel bug. I hope that even though virtual discoveries are becoming less common, you will not delete my discovered log. I only have two trackables that are activated and will gladly share the codes with you via the geocaching message center if you are interested in discovering them.
