Current Goal

To someday be in a cache that gets blown up by a bomb squad or at least find out about caches that have already been blown up.

About This Item

The first iteration of this looked way too authentic (despite its innards being kleenex and potting soil), so I had to scale it down to a more comical and less-believable model. See "original" pic below.

The List

  • GCKR1P - Bubble Bubble Toil & Trouble
    news story

  • GCGEB0 - Farewell Tour
    "Talk about GLITCHES! The cache was found be a passerby, taken home and put in his recycle bin. Much to the chagrin of his neighbors, the bomb squad was contacted and saw fit to destroy the container with a water canon! No to fear! The cache will be replaced and a redirect installed in the near future."

  • GCKEG7 - Mental Floss I
    "I think we can explain what happened to this one. As we were hunting Fishing for Cache a policeman came along and wanted to know what we were doing. We explained Geocaching to him and he said "Oh yeah, we blew one of those up last night". They investigated for several hours and thought it might be a bomb so they "disposed" of it. I guess they can claim LTF (Last to Find)."

  • GC9C3A - In Plane Site
    "I just saw the tail end of a piece on KSL TV, Channel Five and this cache is ...er..GONE! They didn't take kindly to a geocache placed under a bridge outside the entrance to a military facility. Too bad, it was a great cache! It should be archived immediately. Here's the link to the story: - RogerB"

  • GCJZD7 - The Tin Lizzy
    "Yep!! Sure enough I woke up this morning to hear on the radio that was cache was blown up!!! Naturally I've archiving the cache. In my defense, I DID (underline DID three times!!!) have permission from the owner to place this here; he must not have informed his employees."

    Found this Travel Bug today. This is the second time I've had it. 🙂 The previous time was about 20 months ago, and I must say it looks much the same as it did then! 😁 Will move it along soon.

    By the way, back when I found the the first time I was not including the Travel Bug find number in my logs. I'll include that now.

    (Travel Bug find # 2388. As of this moment I have found 6,074 unique Travel Bugs. 😁)
