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.

Anchors Away seemed pretty crowded for this heat, plus it looked like with just a tiny bit more growing, Poison Ivy might just find a way to cause him trouble. I'll see if I can move him south a ways.

I located superman at the cartoon cache, he was happy to be free from the confines of tupperware.

After I got him home, he had to show me his great strength by lifting the very bulky purple iwanago (TB#423783). The two got along great once they got to know each other.

Soon the 2 will share my first cache. But first, he needs to visit the Great Gateway Arch......

Superman needed all his powers to crack the secret 56 digit code and uncover the top secret hiding place of Albert "Eistein" where he delivered the Flea Hopper and a geocoin. Now it is time to return to the USA...

  • Superman battles mysterious sculpture  The "egg stone" (Eistein) exerted a beguiling hypnotic influence on Superman's orientation ability.  In fact, so powerful were its abilities, that Superman was unable to find the cache on his first try.  However, he retrieved an "Eistein-proof" magnetic compass that greatly aided him in his return to search for the cache a second time.
  • Flea hopper is delivered Superman sighs a breath of relief as his secret mission is completed.  The Flea Hopper has its first home.

Superman visited here briefly as he delivered the Bristol Butterfly TB with super speed. It was a very beautiful late afternoon full of sunlight and noisy waterfowl.
