Current Goal

While Speedy can move a bit on his own, he needs your help to cross greater distances.

At this point, I just would really like to know where Speedy is. I've been tracking him for a long while, and am so sad to have had him disappear just after reaching his goal. If he does show up again, my hope is that he'll travel back to the Bay Area of California, where I'd happily retire him. Won't you help him home? If/when he shows back up, I'll add more specifics as to his goal location. We'd love to have pictures of Speedy along his travels.

About This Item

Speedy at Home

Speedy's prior goals: FIRST: Speedy is trying to make his way to visit his grandparents in Los Gatos, CA. He'd like to make it to the Los Gatos Creek Trail Cache at N 37° 15.658 W 121° 57.330.

Speedy would especially love to visit his Mom and Dad in Kansas City, MO. Speedy missed his folks in Kansas City by just a couple of days, but his uncle did get to visit when he was in Colorado Springs, CO.

SECOND:Speedy is off on his second geocaching adventure, after having completed his prior goal rather successfully. He was re-released in the vicinity of Las Vegas, NV and is now trying to get as close to the family homestead in Peterborough, NH as possible. At the moment the closest cache, I think is GCGWXT, Contoocook Cash.

Now that Speedy met his goal, figured it was time to start him on a new one. He'll probably be in a cache around Newport this weekend. In the mean time he'll be celebrating the "4th" with some good freinds who share similar attributes, at a rally for our troops.

GOAL ACHIEVED!!! We placed Big Red "Speedy" here in Contoocook Cash to reach its goal. This is the first time we've ever been able to place a Travel Bug in its goal destination!

We're planning a trip to Peterborough soon, so we'll just have too see if we can't get Speedy to Contoocook Cash!

  • Big Red Speedy takes in the view from South Pack! Our new friend Speedy enjoyed being able to experience the great view from the top of the fire tower on South Pack Monadnock -- the highest point in Hillsborough County.

I was able to get Speedy closer to his home in Peterborough. I'm sure he will soon finish his journey.
Grab It (Not from a Cache) 4/29/2004 LHC_DRat grabbed it   Visit Log

Received this from Dr. D and will bring to a cache in New Hampshire to try to get Speedy close to home. Should be there early in June.
