About This Item

I've got the pizzaaaaaaa!

Hi, I'm Roger Huston's severed head! My current primary goal is to travel from Meadow Lands, Pennsylvania to the Magna headquarters in Aurora, Ontario (it's just north of Toronto). It's a pilgrimage of sorts - I want to meet the people that own my soul. As I travel, a secondary goal of mine is to visit as many harness racing tracks and cheap jewelry stores as humanly possible. I would prefer to move frequently, even if it's only a small distance or in the wrong direction.

We were traveling to lower Michigan and thought it was sort of in the right direction. Hopefully someone heading east will pick him up next.

From The Astronomer's Lighthouse Hunters. "Roger Huston's Severed Head" has finally found a new resting place at the "Crossroads Travel Bug Hotel" cache near the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. He recently visited a number of lighthouses, his most recent passion, on a trip from Green Bay,WI to the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival in Alpena,MI. See the attached photos of "The Head" at the New Presque Isle, Old Presque Isle, and the Presque Isle Front Range Lighthouses. The "Head" says "It's now time to continue on my journey to Aurora, Ontario and hopefully visit some racing tracks along the way."

This weekend is the Lakeshore Maritime Heritage Festival & Lighthouse Walk in Wisconsin along Lake Michigan. I took Roger Huston's Severed Head to visit the Old Port Washington Lighthouse. This lighthouse has just been restored and is open for the first time to the public. Not part of his goal, but something interesting to see so he does not get bored. See the attached photos.

YB, it's no problem that Roger moved southward. As a matter of nature, most Roger Hustons do indeed try to migrate south as winter approaches. Although since it's not really near winter, this pre-empted migration can be easily explained by the fact that the head is indeed severed, and has problems thinking straight without all the necessary nerve connections and all. Don't worry about it, as it is our doing by not labelling the tag. Thanks for the directional assistance! Let's just hope North Carolina has plenty of cheap jewelry stores for Roger to peruse!

Sincerely,
YemonYime
(kind of a co-custodian of the head)

6:50PM Up from NC, staying at the KOA in Washington on this trip to see a couple of Pirates games in Pittsburgh over the weekend. Sorry, but I have moved this guy in the wrong direction. There was no paperwork with this TB, so I didn't know its goal until I got home. That's why it's a good idea to print the TB's goal and send it along with the TB. I will go ahead and do that so the next finder will know that this TB wants to go to Canada. 75° and sunny, so...

No actual Roger Hustons were harmed in the creation of this Travel Bug. This is not a suitable replacement for your own head, so please do not attempt any cranial exchanges. Feed only pizza.
