This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Melvin Schmedlapp - Bandycams TB2 is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

Melvin Schmedlapp is a name used in hypothetical situations. As in, "A man named Melvin Schmedlapp walks into a bar." That's more interesting than "A man named John Doe walks into a bar," right?

But I got to thinking, who is this Melvin Schmedlapp? What does he look like? I have some vague idea, but no definite image. And that notion might be wrong. It would be interesting to see what other people think.

So, Bandycam to the rescue. With this camera, take one photo of someone you think might be named Melvin Schmedlapp. (Whether you confirm it with the person you photograph is up to you.) I suspect you could find a good candidate at your closest mall or Walmart.
