Current Goal

Yard Bird's mission is rather simple, he is trying to get to Squam Lake (Golden Pond) in New Hampshire. He would like to end up near Camp Deerwood in Holderness, NH. He would like to get there by first of August 2005, but any time would be great. Squam River Covered Bridge cache (GCD92A) would be great. NO, SQUAM RIVER COVERED BRIDGE IS A BAD CACHE FOR TRAVEL BUGS. TRY ROCKA DWELLER (GCKK93) OR BELKNAP WOODS CACHE (GCJTD3). I WILL BE THERE THE WEEK OF 8/15/05.

About This Item

Yard Bird

Yard Bird is getting old and a bit confused. He thinks he is a Loon and wants to get to Golden Pond with the other Loons that live there. Yard Bird was attempting to get to Squam Lake the summer of 2004, but did not make it. Now he is in a race with Deerwood Loon (TBG09P) (DEERWOOD MADE IT BUT WAS STOLEN AT SQUAM RIVER COVERED BRIDGE)and needs to get moving. Deerwood started his journey on 2/12/05 from Naples, FL. and will probably fly. My son works at Camp Deerwood and I will be visiting the camp during the middle of August and would like to pick one or both travel bugs up when I am up there. If the travel bugs meet along the way I would like a picture of them together. Please take pictures of Yard Bird at as many stops as possible. Yard Bird made it to Waukewan Highlands Cache eleven days after I found the cache. Perhaps he can stay in The New England area for a year and I can pick him up next August (2006).

I wanted to bring back a couple of TB's to NY. I should have read the goal of this one before picking him up! I don't want to take him out of his route to NH. I will try to release him soon, very soon. Sorry for the detour!

Headed north in a couple of days. Picked up the bug to get him half way through his trip. Bug is in good condition although my two year-old thinks he needs to be fed. She can now say "rooster".

Yard Bird is looking for some magic from one of Mojo's caches. He would have liked to get started in HeartBreak 2, but he knew he would sit there for a long time. He forgot to get started north with the rest of the Snow Birds and is now looking for a ride that will help him get to Squam Lake by the first of August 2004. Please help if you can.
