Current GOAL:  Berti took part in the Race through America 2004 which ended on July 4th 2005. Berti visited (visit means: was dropped into a cache in this state) 29 states in the given time frame, and won the race!
Afterwards Berti spent some time with us in Germany, but once in a while (whenever he finds nice travel companions) he will go to the US and visit some more states.

Berti likes to see more of the cities, the countryside and the people. He came all the way from Germany to the US, so if you have the time and the opportunity to take pictures, we would love to see them.

If you find this TravelBug in a cache, we encourage you to take it even if you don't have any trade items or if the rules of the cache disallow you to pick him up for whatever reason. He has a mission and wants to travel, if you can help him, please do so!

In Germany, Berti is well known as he appears several times a day on ZDF, one of the main television networks. He and his friends Anton, Conni, Det, Edi and Fritzchen, who are called the "Mainzelmännchen" (as the network is based in Mainz) show up in short funny trailers between the commercials.
