Current Goal

This virtual Travel Bug moves like a benevolent minister, priest, rabbi, (shaman, spiritual advisor, fill in your own) etc. to stand with you as you bestow respect and rememberance towards the memory of great, lost caches that are now archived. St. Fanurius of Geo seeks only those caches which were truly great, deserved to be honored and are now sorely missed.

About This Item

Do you mourn for the loss a particular archived cache which was quite special in it's location and/or design? Do you wish others could now experience the joy that you remembered when you were there? Our Saint offers comfort and gentleness for your geocacher heart.

All you need to do is invite our Saint along with you to the page of any archived geocache that is truly worthy of such a rememberance. Just Post A Note on the archived cache's page to drop off this bug and mention the Saint's role in visiting.

Then make sure you post a nicely detailed paragraph here describing your thoughts and your memories of the cache. Let us know why it was so special and why it is so missed nowadays. Just posting this TB in some cache with no note makes the Saint very sad, because he REALLY needs your written memories of the past cache in order to give a proper rememberance. Thanks for your detailed description of what made the cache worth a Saintly visit.

(IMPORTANT: As of April 20,2005, a detailed paragraph on this page is now a required rule. If this rule is not followed, a single polite reminder note will be sent by the owner to the cacher who didn't take the rule into consideration. A reminder note will also be posted by the TB owner on this page. If the log is not properly re-done within 7 days, that log will be deleted by the TB owner. Thank you for treating the Saint with proper respect.)

You never know... after the Saint is invited to be with you for a ceremony of respect and rememberance to a particular bygone cache, we may just witness this TB's rumored saintly powers of ressurrection! When that happens, we can claim an Official St. Fanurius of Geo Miracle. "Lo! For a great archived cache with no hope comes to life again! Hallelujah!!"

His name, St. Fanurius of Geo, is inspired by the name of the patron saint of lost things. Check out the history of the original saint name.

St. Fanurius of Geo's TB number is 454473. Please respect our Saint's sacred mission and guide his visits only towards those caches which are both bygone and greatly missed.

There is no longer a time limit for how long a worthy cache has been archived to make it eligible for a Saintly rememberance. Also, more than one person may join in memorials of the same cache (by 'grabbing' the bug and putting it back there with their own written eulogy-log on the cache page) IF the past cache is truly so worth such a salute. :)

TB page has been re-written, clarifying that one has to post a nice rememberance on the page itself. That should help. :)

Sorry SH, I may have started the trend last month. I thought that the link to the cache would encourage readers to click there and read about the cache on the cache page. I just edited my log from 12/28.

This is annoying. Too many geocachers just simply posting this TB everywhere, no note whatsoever. 😡

Folks, the point of this bug is REMEMBERANCE. Please WRITE something, a really good paragraph, not just park the bug in some dead cache with no note. We want to know WHY the cache is so cool and so deeply missed.

Thank you.

Stargher V: this is truly one of the best and craziest cache in Finland. Although the hideout is not entirely "legal", getting there was an unforgettable challenge presumably even for experienced geocachers. Read the logs, they tell quite a bit. There's additional info about the cache in http://personal.inet.fi/yhdistys/geoseikkailijat/stargher5.html (although only in Finnish) with a couple of images.
