Current Goal

I want to get lost! I figured it was a matter of time anyway, so why not?

About This Item

Is it missing yet?

Many bugs never reach their goal. Along the way, no matter how thoughtful it's finders are, TBs inevitably go missing. It happens more often then we may be willing to admit.

Over the months, a most of my travel bugs have gone missing. And I'm still waiting to confirm that a number of the remaining ones have vanished. One of them only lasted three months. I've heard, however, that many bugs' lifespans have been far shorter. A surprisingly low number actually reach their goal. So, when I decided to release another TB, I decided to guarantee that it would reach it's goal. How could I do that? It's simple. I just set a goal that I KNOW it can't fail. I want this travel bug to get lost.

That's right. The goal of this TB is to make it's way into the wild world of geocaching and eventually end up missing somewhere in the void.

How will it achieve this goal? I predict it will be one of the following ways:

- The cache it is in will be taken.
- A cacher will pick it up and keep it for all eternity.
- It will disappear from a cache with no notice.
- It will be taken to an event and not claimed.
- Somebody will log it into the wrong cache.
- It will be moved to a remote cache, which will then be archived.

Did I miss any? Please help speed this bug along toward it's ultimate demise, wherever and whenever that may be. To facilitate this, the TB has been released with no information sheet attached, but feel free to add one if you want to.
