Current Goal

Old Salt (TBGT6K) wants to visit all of the US states that have ocean boundaries (23 of them). He is a very ambitious TB. All of the caches that he stays in along the way MUST BORDER THE OCEAN. He wants to visit them in person STARTING IN MAINE, making ONLY ONE STOP IN EACH STATE, down the East Coast of the US to Florida. Then across the Gulf Coast to Texas; over to California and up to Alaska. His last visit will be to Hawaii. Upon return to Massachusetts, he will be placed in the hands of his owner - Cache Hound! who is located in Southeastern Massachusetts and dropped in a local cache (near Interstate Rt 195). PLEASE FILL IN THE ATTACHED LOG.

About This Item

Old Salt - August 2004

Old Salt has many, many years experience as a sea captain. I don't remember where I first acquired him, but he has traveled all over the world and has seen many things. Now, what he wants to do before he retires, is to visit all of the US states that have ocean boundaries (23 of them). He wants to visit them in person, making ONLY ONE STOP IN EACH STATE, starting in Maine, down the East Coast of the US to Florida. Then across the Gulf Coast to Texas (Florida only needs to be logged one time); over to California and up to Alaska. His last visit will be to Hawaii. After Hawaii, he wants to return to his owner anywhere in either RHODE ISLAND or SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS for some much-needed R&R (Rest and Refurbishment). All of the caches that he stays in along the way must have an ocean border.
When Old Salt returns to Massachusetts, he will be picked up by his owner, Cache Hound! for further adventures.

This old salt was not in the Sacramento TB Hotel, but nearby in Woodland. Thought I would move him along, I will drop him off at my newly opened West Sac TB Hotel and Kids Cache.

I was introducing my daughter to Geocaching, and on our second one, we came accross this old feller. I could tell based on the tag he'd been around a while, and I just had to know where he's been....so, I snagged him. Typically my travels go north, so I'm figuring out a way to get him south towards Arizona/Texas, as that's the direction he needs to go. Amazing travels he's had though, much enjoyment out of just following his progress!

Grabbed from jdwolfguy, who's had some rough really stuff going on in his life of late, and not had any time to cache. I'll drop him off somewhere he can make another leg of his journey.
