About This Item

Scott (going home to Holland)

In January of 2008, we found a small photograph in a ziplock bag at the final of a four-stage multicache. On the front was a smiling little boy, and on the back was written:
"I'm Scott Eckelschot. Bring me home to Holland. -- Dweez"

We looked at the past logs for the cache, and saw that the picture had been placed there in 2006 by Scott's dad, and had not moved since then. (link to log) We felt bad for poor Scott, and decided to help him on his way by turning his picture into a travel bug.

We attached a TB tag and a little plastic boy standing in almost the same pose as Scott, and sent him off into the world. Good luck and happy travels, Scott!

Brewer will move Scott south towards New York. Maybe Scott can catch a ride on a cruise ship.

Grabbed from Central Mass RR Truss Bridge - I may be able to give him a lift to the UK (hoping to get at least one caching adventure in while on a business trip).
