About This Item

Superman Travel Bug

Green Lantern
Report Filed November 14, 2001

Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom have perfected teleportation device that has scattered the four core Superfriends to the four corners of the continental United States, also robbing them of their powers. We will need the help of the ordinary citizens to transport them back to their place of origins to regain their powers, and then bring them back to the Hall of Justice. Plastic Man, Flash and Hawkman have been helping out, but our efforts are stretched so thin that we've called on the world of Marvel Comics to help hold down the fort at the Hall of Justice. Professor Xavier and his crew have set up temporary residence in the Hall of Justice as well. Superman has been sent to the farthest southeast state - Florida - and needs to go back to Metropolis to regain his powers before returning to the Hall of Justice. We are asking citizens that come across Superman to speed him on his journey, moving from Geocache to Geocache, until he can regain his powers by visiting the cache closest to Metropolis, Illinois, home of the Giant Superman Statue. Currently, the cache closest to that zip code of 62960 is Superman, GC2E8B, but click here to be sure Once there, it will be the ordinary citizen's job to transport the Man of Steel to the cache Hall of Justice II (GC7FF0) to rejoin his friends before the Legion of Doom takes over the world. And of course, the more pictures by key landmarks taken, the better.

Seeing as Superman currently is without his powers I thought it wise to remove him from the Lund Lake cache as according to the cache owner a burn is planned very soon for the area.

I'll try to find a cache that's at least a little along the way to completing his first mission to regain his powers.

Unfortunatelly I found this bug while cruising through the rest stop on my way North. I was in Chicago by the time I was able to log on and find out that he's headed South to Metropolis. I'm continuing on North to LaCrosse, WI tomorro afternoon so I'm going to try and drop him off somewhere in the Chicago area tomorro.

I took this TB today from Bon Harbor where he has been resting for quite some time. I had intended to leave him in a cache on I64, but the container was too small. Since it was the last cache I had printed out for my trip, I had to bring Superman all the way home to the Peoria, IL area with me. There is a cache not too far from me that might get him closer to home where he wants to go.
