About This Item

Bosco1.jpg

Bosco the Beer-Swilling Bass has a goal: to help legal-age beer drinkers enjoy tasty beer and collect bottlecaps along the way!

Bosco is a bottle-opening bass (Bassus Fermentus Openus), an extremely rare breed. He has been sighted in the streams near breweries and along areas with numerous bars. He desires to travel around the country (and possibly the world), and see what sorts of tasty beer he can help you enjoy along the way. He hopes to someday make it back to his owner, Joefrog.

YOU can help Bosco with his goal. He already has several bottlecaps on his chain from beer he has enjoyed; please add one of your local sudsy favorites to his collection. Bosco prefers unusual microbrews, but domestics are fine for him, too. Do try to add one that is not already on the chain! Pictures of Bosco during his travels are welcomed! ***PLEASE*** put travel bugs in secure, stable & better established caches!! When ya get there and see that a cache is pretty much right out in the open, don't put a Travel Bug in there!! Save it for the cache that's hidden very well!

I contacted joefrog about hanging on to Bosco until May when I would be travelling to Georgia. Joefrog told me, "Go ahead and let him go now, we're moving to New York City next week."

So I have notated on Bosco's little sheet that he now wants to go to Central Park. Whaddya think, joefrog?

I added a "Harp" bottlecap to his chain and put him in my brand new cache at Lake Red Rock, Ioway.

  • Bosco with a Schell Pilsner, my personal favorite But I gave him a "Harp" bottlecap since he already had a couple of Schells.

I see that Bosco wants to go home. I'll be going real close to home, but that won't be until May. I don't think I should hang on to him that long. We'll see.

It's unclear anyway, whether he was to be home in 2004 or 2005, or if it even matters.

Retrieve It from a Cache 11/29/2004 waldonians retrieved it from Minard #1 Kansas   Visit Log

We have snagged Bosco and are planning a nice non-alcoholic beverage for my 10yr.old to add to the eclectic necklace of bottle tops. We are planning on planting Bosco this weekend on the Missouri side and hopefully send him on his way. What a creative TB!
