Current Goal

Darth is enjoying retirement in Charleston Arkansas. He gets out on occasion but he currently enjoys lounging. The only issue is he has lost his head in his travels.

About This Item

Darth Vader

Darth is on a mission to find other Jedi out in the geocaching universe. He will be making his debut and starting his journey soon. If you find him please help him get to as many states as possible by the end of the year. Alaska would be a really cool place to visit, as Darth's master has always wanted to go there, but he will take a trip to any exotic location anywhere in the geocaching world. When you find Darth, please leave a message and a picture with your find, and help him on his fearless journey.

Just finished reading about Darth Vader in the Complete Idiots Guide to Geocaching. I had to check out all his adventures and wanted to just write a note to thank Captain Prozac for his service and bring Darth along for several adventures. After reading the notes after that, I imagine he's pretty rough. Maybe you can post an updated picture of him in retirement. Thanks for both you and Captain Prozac for the great adventures.

After moving to Western Arkansas Darth has decided to continue is peace and quiet time. Especially considering the fact that several of his other Travel Bug comrades have been falling like knights in battle. I have been thinking of releasing a Darth Vader Clone so others can enjoy this travel bug, but as for the original he is staying safe and sound on my shelf.

Darth is a little battle weary, plus he got his mask ripped off during his missions. He will be getting back out in the field after some much needed R&R.
Thank you VERY Much Duracell for getting him home to me as safely as possible, and also thank you for the Darth Clone that you sent along. I really appreciate it, and I owe you one if you are ever down East Texas way.

Darth Vader is now in the clutches of Jedi Knight Duracell. He will be traveling across the country in June (photos will document his travels to each state) and end up in a cache in Alaska in late July.

The Darth Vader TB has finished flying 7 combat missions over Afghanistan (see photos posted in earlier logs on this site). Enjoyed a stop in the United Kingdom before returning to the US. Of course we stopped at a couple of pubs. The cool weather was a nice relief from the 100+ degree F weather from a week earlier. This TB will be released back into circulation in the next couple of weeks, most likely in the SE US.

  • Darth Vader outside of a Pub in the UK
  • Darth Vader inside of a Pub Enjoying one of the finer products to come from Ireland.
