Current Goal

For a start, it would be great if you could get me to Silicon Valley, USA. Having my picture taken in front of the great IT corporate's offices, would really make my day!

Suggestions:

  • ANY venue on the way there!
  • Adobe Systems
  • Apple Corporation
  • Cisco Systems
  • Garmin
  • HP
  • IBM
  • Intel Corporation
  • Microsoft Corporation
  • Netscape Communications
  • Novell Inc
  • Silicon Graphics
  • Sun Microsystems
  • Symantec
  • any others...

Then on to some pics of me at San Francisco Tourist Attractions - Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Trolleys, etc!

Any pics of me, whilst in your possession, would be appreciated. It would allow my owner to share in the travel adventure, turning him GREEN with envy!

Moral of the story - I want pics! How else could I prove that I was there...

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 8/7/2008 WingNut645 grabbed it   Visit Log

Fred came to me in an odd way. I was home on leave in Ohio for a week and my best friend picked me up and I noticed this travel bug in her car. She said her husband picked it up from a geocache in Norfolk, VA. It had been sitting in her car for a while so I asked if I could have it. Well I brought Fred back to California with me where I am stationed! I still have him, need to find a cache big enough to place him in!
