How cool is this? My old travel bug finally returned home! Buttonman http://coord.info/TBDA3A was released March 2006 and traveled 37,673 miles all over the world. With the help of 57 different cachers he went to 200 different caches while he was gone and only turned up missing for about a year; his log read, “05/11/2009 PuReWaRRioR69 grabbed Buttonman - I grabbed this from a cache called Colonels Hard GCXVFH on the Island of Wight and there no log of it ever being there lol
will drop off soon”.
Buttonman visited Germany, Austria, England, Wales, South Africa and South and Eastern United States.
His original goal was to go to Cara’s College Cache in Regent Park, London http://coord.info/GCH9HP and he made it there. I had a change of plans and couldn’t get there to pick him up, so changed his goal. The second goal was to go to Limerick City, Ireland. Tough way to go and no caches large enough, so after a few years I figured since his body had been rebuilt two times by very kind cachers, it was time to come home!
Interesting side note—at one point in 2007 Buttonman was in “The Last Delivery (London”) cache and JimHoney and I tried to find that specific cache last October 2011 but could not due to Occupy London! Small world.
Many thanks to all the cachers along the way and especially Besem and HeftyHikers for returning our friend home.
