How do Trackable Items Work?

Recently Spotted:  In FAR OUT (Transcendental Tie-Dye) Event

Current GOAL:  Travel through each of the fifty states. (District of Columbia too!)

About this item:
This travel bug is a small mason jar, filled with a portion of my Uncle Elwyn's remains. He passed away recently and asked that his remains be spread in the wilderness. This seemed a fitting way to do just that. (To ensure there are enough ashes to make it to every state, please use the spoon provided.)

Uncle Elwyn was always an adventurer, proud that he had hiked all 50 states. He loved to hike, camp and fish - plus he was quite the musician. Unfortunately Geocaching came along too late for Uncle Elwyn. He was about 45, well maybe 55, 60. I'm not sure. (Once he mixed me a drink, I was about 5 years old - it was Kool-Aid and pop, I thought that was cold. Cold meaning good, cold's supposed to be bad ... ah nevermind.)

As far as regulations in regards to scattering ashes, here is some information from funeralplan.com: "Most laws surrounding funeral service are based on public health. Once a body has been cremated, there are no public health concerns. Therefore, there are no requirements (or laws) with regards to handling cremated remains."
